Overview

Payday, on your schedule. Ekko’s app lets employees of partner companies withdraw part of the salary they have already earned — then pay bills, track every request and read their payslips in the same place. The design goal: make a financial product feel as simple as checking the time.

• Role: UI/UX Design · Ekko in-house

• Platform: Mobile app — iOS & Android

• Scope: 15 flows · ~100 screens, from onboarding to e-contracts

• Key features: Earned wage access, bill payments, history, payslips, notifications

The Problem

Bills arrive every week. Salary arrives once a month — and the gap pushes workers toward high-interest loans.

The Goals

Speed. Request an advance in a few taps: pick an amount, choose a purpose, confirm with your PIN.

Transparency. Show the available limit, the fee and the total received before every confirmation — nothing hidden.

Trust. OTP verification, e-signed contract annexes and clear success, pending and failed states for every transaction.
