Capital One

91% of applications for credit cards are denied because applicants overestimate their eligibility. Capital One checks if you qualify without a hard credit pull, but the process is confusing and needs major improvement.

 

 

GOALS

  • Optimize the customer experience to drive approved credit card applications.

  • Confirm qualification status before the application is submitted and adjust product messaging.

PROBLEMS

  • Declined applications cost money.

  • Rejected applicants are unlikely to reapply for a different product.

The Redesign

 

SCENARIO 1

Qualified for the card!

The applicant successfully qualifies for the card. The pre-qualification form has been combined with the application to check status and reduce the number of steps and form fields that need to be filled.

 
 

Scenario 2

Didn’t qualify for the card…

If a user fails the pre-qualify step, two more credit cards are suggested and the user can continue the application process.
