JCB Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that its members-only mobile application “MyJCB App” has won the iF DESIGN AWARD 2025 in the Communication UX category of the User Experience (UX) division.
The service design and UI/UX design were developed in collaboration with FOURDIGIT Inc.
Design Approach Focused on User Experience
JCB and FOURDIGIT have been collaborating since 2021 to enhance the MyJCB App, encompassing service design, UI/UX design, and the establishment of continuous improvement processes.
For the renewal project, they developed a strategy to define the app’s role in the service experience based on a detailed analysis of user behavior and challenges. The team conducted surveys with thousands of users and in-depth interviews with over 50 participants to thoroughly analyze credit card usage patterns and customer needs across various service channels, creating a comprehensive vision for cross-channel user experience.
Following the renewal, the team has continued to improve through store comments, user interviews, and usage data analysis, aiming to create an app that serves all customers regardless of their financial literacy. They remain committed to delivering safer and more convenient card services while actively listening to customer feedback.
