Diving into the problem…
Our team embarked on a thorough investigative journey to uncover the underlying causes contributing to individuals' lack of preparedness for retirement.
Through a combination of in-depth interviews and extensive literature review, we dissected prevailing factors such as inadequate financial education, limited awareness of pension schemes, evolving economic landscapes, and varying personal saving habits.

are some of factors affecting unprepared retirement
How we solved it…
We designed an application that greets the user with an overall picture of their retirement plan on the Dashboard. Other tabs offer detailed insights into their linked accounts, personalised investment recommendations, and a knowledge base to enhance their financial understanding.

More on the structure…
The application's structure revolves around a user-centric design aimed at simplifying retirement planning. At its core lies the Dashboard, providing an at-a-glance overview of the user's retirement plan. It then branches out to more granular parts where the user can have complete control over their plan and investments.
