Loan Funnel Optimization
Lending UX · Funnel Optimization
Guided onboarding and inline validation lifted funnel completion by 53% and cut time-to-complete by 35%.
Reducing user drop-off in a lending onboarding flow through behavioral analytics, guided multi-step design, and earlier validation feedback.
(Challenge)
The original onboarding flow was a long single-page form with multiple financial and verification fields shown at once. Behavioral analytics revealed a 48.7% exit rate at the Income Verification section — the highest of any step.
(Approach)
I broke the long form into a guided multi-step flow with visible progress, inline validation the moment errors occur, on-demand help for unclear terminology, and the ability to save progress and return later.
