As digital payment platforms grew across Nigeria, Getsub needed a design system that could support multiple services while being simple enough for users of all ages — from young students to elderly users unfamiliar with digital platforms.
The mission was to redesign the mobile experience to feel intuitive, scalable, and trustworthy at every touchpoint.
