Bank alerts that finally feel safe.

A secure, mobile-first alert platform replacing SMS banking alerts with a real-time, fraud-resistant in-app inbox — and a compliant B2B messaging and dispute dashboard for banks.

Bank alerts that finally feel safe.

Finabox replaces unreliable SMS banking alerts with a secure, real-time in-app inbox for customers, and gives banks a compliant B2B dashboard for messaging, billing and dispute management.

The Problem

High SMS costs, unreliable delivery, delayed alerts, no real-time dispute mechanism, heavy compliance pressure on banks, and low adoption of alternative channels.

The Goal

Replace SMS with secure real-time alerts, enable instant fraud disputes, reduce bank costs, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive adoption through agents.

I interviewed banks, regulators and end-users to understand pain points around alert reliability, fraud response and compliance. Banks emphasised the need for audit trails and proof of delivery.

Trustworthy first run

An onboarding splash that earns attention before asking for it.

Banks reduced SMS costs by up to 70%, fraud detection improved through real-time disputes, and a successful agent program onboarded customers across 37 states with 100% delivery visibility.

Takeaways

Security is experiential, not just technical. Compliance-driven products still need warmth and clarity. Designing for adoption is as critical as designing for features.

Impact

  1. 01Banks reduced SMS alert costs by up to 70%
  2. 02Faster fraud detection through real-time disputes
  3. 03100% delivery visibility for end-users
  4. 04Agent program onboarded users across 37 states

What I learned

Designing trust and compliance into UX unlocked adoption. A dual-audience system stayed simple and scalable. The agent program significantly reduced onboarding friction.

Next Steps

Expand self-serve onboarding for smaller banks, run long-term studies on dispute resolution efficiency, and continue optimising agent-driven growth.
