Overview

A bank young people actually open

Most banking apps talk to adults who already understand banking. Al Hilal needed to speak to a younger audience (and the parents guiding them) without losing the trust a bank has to earn.

We designed the experience around a single idea: turn pocket money into life lessons. The onboarding tells that story in three confident screens, and the home turns the account into a rewards-driven lifestyle hub rather than a list of transactions.

We owned the flow, the UI against the bold AHB visual language (midnight indigo, Hilal magenta, sunrise orange) and built the front-end so the shipped app matched the design exactly.

What we did

From brand story to shipped front-end

Narrative onboarding

Shaped a three-story intro (digital banking, family saving and lifestyle) each anchored by a single illustrative hero.

Lifestyle home UI

Designed a "Marhaba" home with a points balance, service shortcuts and a scrolling offers marketplace.

Front-end build

Implemented the gradient surfaces, glassy cards and the floating action dock, fast and faithful on device.

Design system fit

Built reusable components on AHB's palette so the experience extends cleanly across the product.
