ATM Rollout 2024
427 ATMs
problem space
The 25-year-old ATM interface, initially designed for simple cash withdrawals, struggled to provide a user-friendly experience for new services like transfer and bill payments launched over the years.
bank's endeavor
RHB Bank is rolling out touch-screen kiosks nationwide, powered by Windows software for a scalable modern interface. This will enable the bank to offer more than 18 services with enhanced accessibility and improved user guidance.

Measure Today to Master Tomorrow
evaluate
Understanding the Current Interface
This interface works on kiosks with 4 physical buttons on each sides, displaying up to 8 options.
More Details
Years of use has created familiarity and muscle memory, strong reasons to maintain the current workflow.
Outdated interface conflicts with our bank's modern image of being a progressive bank.
Type scale lacks standardisation. Using capital letters with excessive kerning on service menu hampers readability.
As per our recent re-branding, the diamond symbol can't be used alone. It must accompany RHB letters in the logo.

Analyzing the Current Flow
Past data shows users often check balances before withdrawing, but the one-way flow forces them to start from the beginning, a common complaint.
evaluate
Presenting Draft for feedback
I added a button to allow users to perform another transaction without starting a new session.
Other Proposals
Controls exhibit modern design, and the touch interaction (pressed state) mimics the sensation of pressing a physical button.






Card animation guides correct insertion, while keyboard animation prompts physical keypad use.






Screen transitions indicate progress in the user's journey, moving seamlessly from one stage to the next.





Utilizing the RHB brand color for the background enhances brand recognition.


Listing services vertically may pose a learning curve for older users accustomed to the decades-long Z-shaped layout.



Using the China flag for Mandarin language selection may raise concerns of discrimination.


The interface appeals to Gen Y and Z, but older people may experience accessibility issues.


Windows icons boost performance and ease development but lack brand recognition.

Accessibility is Usability for All
accessibility
Prioritizing Accessibility
Accessibility was the top priority from stakeholder feedback, so I organized my priorities into four categories:
Guidance
To guide users on card insertion and when to use the physical numeric keypad.
Colors
To use high-contrast colors that meet WCAG AAA guidelines while aligning with brand colors.
Touch Targets
To ensure touch targets are large enough to avoid accidental presses.
Typography
To implement a typescale that is easily readable for both younger and older individuals.
accessibility
Guiding through animations
Designing 2 Lottie animations: one for card insertion and another for using the numeric keypad.
accessibility
Assessible colors and touch targets
Using high-contrast colors for AAA WCAG compliance and controls large enough for easy selection.
accessibility
Improving Readability for All Users
Using a the perfect forth 1.333 ratio to set 48px for instructions and 36px for options.
From Concepts to Reality
Final Result 🎉
Reverted to Z-shaped service listing and preserved service order to support familiarity and muscle memory, such as placing balance enquiry at the bottom right on the first page of ATM services menu.
Eliminated country flag icons for language selection and crafted new icons for all services, ensuring alignment with RHB brand colors and guidelines.
Implemented larger touch targets, high-contrast backgrounds for readability, and consistent typography for accessibility and ease of use.
Modern Interface for A progressive bank
The new interface improves user experience with branded icons, animations, and accessible controls, transitioning from a two-decade-old design.
Icons That Reflect the Brand
Unique, branded icons for each service enable quick recognition, aligning with RHB's online and mobile banking style.
The Next Step: Action
implement
Gaining Stakeholder Consensus
After successful testing, the prototypes were presented to Retail Banking and Group Marketing for approval.
The Standout Feature
implement
Delivering Designs to Developers
I organized component properties and states into a specification document for seamless handoff.

Takeaways That Refined My Design Approach!
Reflecting on the UI design project, it was a journey of exploration and collaboration. Delving into user behavior provided valuable insights, shaping the design to align seamlessly with their expectations. Exploring kiosk machine software capabilities opened avenues for proposing innovative features, including animations that could enhance the overall user experience.
Collaborating closely with the Infra team was instrumental in testing prototypes and iterating for testing accessibility. All credits to the Infra team, and to the guidance of my ED team's Head and Section throughout the project.
