CASE STUDY
(UBS BANK) Union Bank of Switzerland
Client Overview - UBS Bank
Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), a prominent Swiss investment bank and financial services company, has a rich history of serving High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) and hedge fund managers with its expert account managers.
Recognising the need for agility in the ever-changing financial landscape, UBS bank sought to streamline the process of updating financial statements for their clients.

Solutions Provided
- UBS's digital team collaborated with Evangelist Apps to develop a secure application that would empower account managers to update clients' financial statements on the go using iPads.

Key Features :
- High-Fidelity UX Designs
Evangelist Apps meticulously gathered requirements and gained a deep understanding of UBS’s business needs. The team then crafted high-fidelity UX designs rigorously reviewed and approved by UBS stakeholders, ensuring a user-friendly and efficient interface.
