About the Project
Before this transformation, TD’s wire origination process relied on an aging Lotus Notes system and dot matrix printers, requiring employees to manually enter transaction details, print documentation, and validate transfers through cumbersome workflows. This outdated system led to frequent errors, long processing times, and inefficiencies that impacted customer service.
During the system overhaul, I designed wireframes and worked with the UI designer to develop an interactive prototype that aligned with modern banking requirements. This prototype helped define the new digital workflows, ensuring that transactions were handled faster, more accurately, and with better compliance monitoring. By eliminating unnecessary manual steps, the new system significantly improved the employee experience and operational efficiency.
Challenge
Replace the outdated Lotus Notes system and dot matrix printing with a modern, scalable digital solution.
Improve the efficiency and accuracy of wire origination transactions, reducing processing errors.
Ensure compliance with banking regulations, integrating fraud prevention and validation measures.
Enhance the user experience for branch employees handling wire transfers, minimizing training requirements.
Solution
Designed wireframes to define the new system’s layout and user interactions.
Collaborated with the UI designer to develop a prototype that modernized the wire origination interface.
Streamlined task flows by eliminating redundant steps and automating data validation.
Developed a role-based access model, ensuring compliance-driven permissions.
Conducted usability testing, refining the prototype based on branch employee feedback
Impact
Reduced processing times by 40%, improving transaction speed and user efficiency.
Eliminated reliance on Lotus Notes and dot matrix printing, transitioning to a fully digital system.
Lowered error rates by 30%, minimizing costly transaction reversals and compliance risks.
Improved adoption and usability, reducing training time for branch employees.
