Best Financial Services UI/UX Design Agencies (2026)

EPAM opened in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1993 and is now a public software engineering and consulting company with more than 62,850 people. Its design and consulting practice, EPAM Continuum, led the company's work for LV= General Insurance in the UK. That work began with board-level workshops and a 13-week qualitative customer research program, then evolved the insurer's brand, design language and tone of voice, with a design system handed to LV='s own design team. EPAM went on to design and build the platform behind LV='s digital products, including a redesigned LV.com that gives customers a mobile-first, guided route through buying insurance. Other financial work covers ImageNPay, a startup whose virtual payment cards let users change the card image, and a direct-to-consumer sales model for the life and health insurer AmeriLife.

Isadora Agency designs the apps, dashboards and websites that financial companies put in front of customers, from a budgeting app to the site of a payroll platform. One example is Upli, a financial wellness app launched as a newly formed subsidiary of a national financial institution to help younger employees take control of their money. Isadora defined the product strategy and brand identity and designed more than 100 mobile screens covering onboarding, budgeting, account aggregation, savings and goal setting. Research found that most fintech apps either overwhelm or oversimplify, so the app swaps spreadsheet-style views for conversational nudges tied to real spending. A custom UI library carried the system into the marketing site, and push notifications and re-engagement flows were planned from the start. For APS Payroll, a provider of payroll, HR and time-tracking software for employers, Isadora rebuilt the marketing website around product and industry pages and visible trust signals. The case study reports a 35% lift in trust-based conversions from B2B prospects, and average sessions ran 50% longer.

Wipro acquired Designit, an experience innovation company dating from 1991, in 2015, and its studios sit in cities including Copenhagen, London, Madrid, Munich, Melbourne and Bengaluru. For the bank DNB it reworked how customers save and invest. Instead of static personas, the team defined dynamic need groups, behavior patterns that run from cautious planners to passive savers, and used them as a shared reference for designers, developers and stakeholders. The result was Spare, a single tool that brings a customer's savings and investment options together and makes the next step clear. Designit also created the visual identity for the European Payments Initiative, built around a bridge motif for a payments network that depends on partner banks. Its work index also lists the design of BforBank, a neobank in Europe.

AKQA has worked for three decades across brand, AI-powered systems and what it calls surfaces, meaning web, retail and AI interfaces. WPP has held a majority stake since 2012. For a challenger bank, AKQA reworked the brand experience across retail, private, business and wholesale banking. The engagement ran from positioning and a verbal identity through a digital-first visual identity with a custom typeface, a motion language and a scalable system of foundational design codes. The system was built to keep a single presence across 40 core markets, and AKQA embedded it with the bank's internal teams so campaigns and product work could build on it. Outside banking, its product work includes web3.storage for Protocol Labs and the GripAble home therapy platform and app.

Boston Consulting Group runs BCG X as its tech build and design unit, and the unit brings together more than 3,000 tech builders, designers and entrepreneurs. Its own description lists human-centered designers alongside technologists, scientists, programmers and engineers, and its client stories lean toward AI products. The insurer Signal Iduna worked with BCG, BCG X and Google Cloud to build Co SI, a GenAI service assistant for frontline staff that also supports onboarding and improves the customer experience. Konecta, a global digital services and customer experience provider, worked with BCG and BCG X on a roadmap that scaled AI across its customer experience operations in 28 countries. A mobile payments company in the Philippines worked with BCG X on an AI personalization engine for its customer messages. Design here is sold as part of larger strategy and build programs.

Thoughtworks has 10,000+ people and offices in 18 countries; it was founded in Chicago in 1993. The Saxo Bank story on its site covers the online trading and investment provider's Data Workbench, a self-service data catalog and quality platform. Over a 15-month engagement, Thoughtworks identified the main personas who would use the platform, defined the catalog and data-quality requirements with them, and shipped a first version of data lineage and a business glossary before further iterations with the bank's team. The same client library includes a lean design project to improve a mobile app for Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank. Thoughtworks pairs a stated commitment to design-led thinking with engineering, and its banking stories run research, design and delivery in the same engagement.

Four friends founded Globant in Buenos Aires in 2003, and the company listed on the NYSE in 2014. It organizes delivery into studios, and its leadership page names a Financial Services AI Studio with its own chief executive and chief strategy officer. Globant also acquired BlueCap to add consulting in the financial sector. Customer service is the thread in its published banking work: in 2018 it began implementing Salesforce's financial services product for Bank BCI in Latin America, and its Salesforce case list includes the fintech Ualá. After years of that work, Salesforce picked Globant as a launch partner for Salesforce for Financial Services and Client 360. For design, its GUT network adds brand and creative studios, and its broader client work spans retail, sports venues and public services.

David Kelley, Bill Moggridge and Mike Nuttall founded IDEO in Palo Alto in 1991, and it now works globally across design and innovation. Umpqua Bank asked IDEO to take its brand further after the 2014 acquisition of Sterling Financial Corporation doubled the bank's size. IDEO identified three brand opportunities and a new purpose statement, which led to more than 15 concepts for expressing the brand inside and outside the bank. It also worked with Umpqua's team on Raindrop, a digital app built around how people think about saving and spending, and set up internal design challenges on its OI Engine software. IDEO introduced the work through an exhibition at the bank's Portland headquarters, where executives and associates walked through the concepts.
