FirstUnited Bank, via CG Infinity

Centralizing an account opening experience for retail banking

As a UX consultant at CG Infinity, I joined First United Bank’s product team on a three-month contract as the sole UX designer. I led the design of retail account-opening and identity-verification workflows, translating complex banking requirements into clearer, more efficient experiences for customers and internal teams.

Introduction

As the sole UX designer on First United Bank’s product team, I observed that fragmented account-opening and identity-verification steps created unnecessary friction for customers and bankers.

I judged that the experience needed clearer guidance, fewer handoffs, and reusable interaction patterns. During my three-month consulting engagement through CG Infinity, I moved the work forward through user research, workflow redesign, prototyping, testing, and a shared component library for development.

The redesigned experience improved speed, consistency, and delivery across the account-opening process:

  • Reduced identity-verification time by 35%

  • Shortened business account creation time by 35%

  • Cut development time by 40% through reusable components

  • Created a more consistent experience for bankers and customers

  • Reduced friction across fragmented account-opening workflows
