Key Findings:

β€’ Unclear Limit Visibility:
"When I attempted a deposit, I wasn’t sure how close I was to my limit. The app didn’t show real-time usage, and I ended up getting an unexpected rejection."

β€’ Ambiguous Reset Timing:
β€œOnce I hit my limit, I had no idea when it would reset. This uncertainty made planning my deposits really challenging.”

β€’ Ambiguous Reset Timing:
β€œOnce I hit my limit, I had no idea when it would reset. This uncertainty made planning my deposits really challenging.”

β€’ Visibility of Limits:
Four users didn’t want technicians to see the remaining limits. We decided to hide limits until roles were implemented, allowing only managers to view them.

β€’ Need for Clear Processing Time:
Users anticipated fast fund availability but found processing times unclear, causing anxiety. Clearer messaging on timing could boost trust.

β€’ High Frequency of Near-Limit Deposits:
Usage analytics revealed that nearly 50% of deposit attempts occur when users have reached 70-90% of their limit, indicating a critical need for better real-time limit visibility.

β€’ Frustration Over Process Interruptions:
β€œExceeding the limit disrupts my workflow. I need clear guidance on what happens next, whether I should wait for a reset, contact support, or try a different approach.”

β€’ Security Checks and Deposit Speed:
Users wanted security but were worried about delays for larger deposits. Transparency around security checks would reassure users.


β€’ Detailed Transaction History:
Users wanted detailed transaction history showing past deposits, limits reached, and actions taken for a comprehensive overview.

New Direction: Transaction Limits

Problem Statement:
Unclear transaction limit indicators cause user anxiety and workflow disruptions. Unexpected rejections compromise security and compliance (impacting Stripe’s check validation) and fail to adapt to the varied
needs of small and large businesses, preventing the broader rollout of this feature.

Usage Metrics and Impact

Usage Metrics and Impact

After launching the Mobile Check Deposit feature for all users (general availability), we tracked significant engagement and success.

β€’ Initial Adoption:
In the first month, users completed 2,500 deposits, totaling $500,000 in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV).

β€’ Sustained Growth:
In subsequent months, the average GMV exceeded $600,000 in deposited checks.

β€’ Notable Transactions:
The largest single check deposited was $100,000, demonstrating the reliability and security of the feature.

We knew that 30% of payments received by our clients were checks. Addressing this need aligned with our fintech strategy. The Mobile Check Deposit feature has greatly improved user experience and validated our strategic direction.
