Fintech

Fintech websites that look safe enough to trust with money.

Judged on: does this look safe enough to trust with money?

In financial software, the website is part of the due diligence. Finance leaders, risk teams and regulators all look at it. We help you look credible, explain complex products simply and answer compliance questions before they're asked.

Who's reading your website

  • CFO or finance lead

    Accuracy, control and time saved

  • Risk + compliance

    Regulatory fit, audit trails and certifications

  • IT + security

    Integrations, access control and data residency

  • Operations team

    Something they'll actually use every day

The problem

Why fintech websites are hard

01

Trust is the product

A site that looks cheap or unfinished makes buyers wonder what the backend looks like. Design quality reads as operational quality.

02

Complex products, busy buyers

Reconciliation, lending, payments and treasury are hard to explain in a headline, and finance leaders won't read a wall of text.

03

Compliance language everywhere

Legal wants every claim qualified. Without care, the copy becomes so hedged it says nothing.

04

Multiple buyers, multiple fears

The CFO worries about accuracy, IT about security, compliance about regulators. One generic page can't calm all three.

One picture beats three paragraphs

Show where the money moves

Finance buyers understand flows. A simple four-step diagram of what happens to money and data answers more questions than a feature list.

  1. 01

    Data in

    Bank feeds, ERP, files. Named systems, not 'any source'

  2. 02

    What you do to it

    Match, price, verify, reconcile. One verb they recognise

  3. 03

    Controls

    Who approves, what is logged, what happens on an exception

  4. 04

    Out the other side

    Ledger entry, payment, report. Where it lands and who sees it

The fix

What your website has to do

  • Look established from the first screen

    Restrained colour, clear type, real product UI and no stock photos of people pointing at charts.

  • Explain the product in one picture

    A simple flow diagram of where money or data moves beats three paragraphs of explanation.

  • Put security and compliance one click away

    A dedicated page with certifications, data handling and regulatory status, linked from the footer and pricing.

  • Give each buyer their own page

    Role pages for finance, IT and compliance, each answering the questions that role actually asks.

Proof

Trust signals buyers look for

Put these where buyers make decisions: near CTAs, on pricing and in the footer. Not buried on an About page.

  • Regulatory status or licences held
  • SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS status
  • Bank and platform partners
  • Security and data handling page
  • Customer logos in similar sectors
  • Clear, qualified claims legal has signed off

94%

of buying groups rank their preferred vendors before first contact with sales.

If your website doesn't make the shortlist, sales never gets a shot.

Fintech FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

Something else? Email admin@baddesign.io. The founder replies.

How do we keep legal happy without boring copy?

Agree the claims framework with legal first: what you can say, how it must be qualified. Then write clearly inside those lines instead of hedging every sentence afterwards.

Should we show pricing?

If you sell to smaller teams, usually yes. For enterprise deals, at least show how pricing works so finance buyers can gauge fit before a call.

Do we need a trust center?

If you sell to mid-market or enterprise, a security and compliance page saves your sales team a lot of repeated questionnaires.
