    *️⃣ Ep. 0: Designing Trust in Banking & Crypto Products with Mostafa Esmaeili · MONEY DESIGN

    Subscribe to the MONEY DESIGN newsletter Why do money apps create friction? In Episode 0 of MONEY DESIGN, Design Director Mostafa Esmaeili explains the design decisions behind it and what this show covers. MONEY DESIGN is a podcast and newsletter about financial product design and fintech UX: how banking apps and crypto wallets are really built, including the trade-offs, constraints and outcomes behind the screens. IN THIS EPISODE - Why confusing screens, missing confirmations and last-second fees are usually the result of design decisions, some deliberate and some not - Why designing for money is different: people decide whether to move, lock, spend or leave value, so trust is the product - Mostafa's path from banking (Saman Bank, blu Bank) to crypto (walllet.com, a self-custodial wallet) - Why design in regulated environments is a negotiation between user clarity, compliance, legacy systems and risk teams - What changes in self-custody: onboarding that is secure and simple, multi-network complexity kept invisible, and recovery, lending and swap flows people can trust - Why neither extreme works: banking interfaces that treat users like bank staff, and crypto products that assume everyone is a power user QUESTIONS THIS SHOW ANSWERS - How do you design for trust when a financial product is new? - How do you simplify without hiding risk? - How do you work with compliance and engineering without losing the user's point of view? - How do you measure whether a financial experience is actually working?
