India, global · national-scale payments, lending, banking
NetBramha designed the UX for BHIM, India's national UPI payment app built under the government's Digital India initiative — one of the few private studios ever mandated to design government financial infrastructure — helping it reach 500M+ users and 10M downloads in ten days, and lifting monthly transactions from 38.9M to nearly 120M. The HDFC Bank mobile redesign now serves 60M+ users. ONE Muthoot unified loans, cards, and insurance into one app; Yubi connects 4,000+ borrowers with 1,000+ lenders on a B2B debt marketplace; Geojit and IAMIN cover investment and micro-investment.
Founded 2008 · Clients 250+ across 20+ countries · Recognition Clutch Global Leader 2020–2024 · Pricing on request · Fintech hubs served Dubai, Singapore, London, New York, Frankfurt, Zurich.

Qubstudio brings 19 years of product design and branding to fintech and banking — retail and corporate banking, BNPL, payments, lending, open banking — across the USA, GCC, and Europe. Led by a CEO with a Ph.D. in Innovation Management, its strength is legacy modernisation: untangling old systems and rebuilding user flows without losing institutional knowledge. It holds a Red Dot Best of the Best for brand transformation.
Best for: mid-market fintech firms with legacy platforms needing a research-grounded modernisation at accessible rates. Check first: less evidence at very high transaction volume.

Clay serves large fintechs and venture-backed companies that want design to communicate authority. It delivers premium visual experiences with strong brand integration — high-polish digital products where visual identity and UX build user trust and market credibility together. Rates are at the top of the published range with a $50,000+ project floor.
Best for: Series B+ and enterprise fintechs where brand differentiation matters as much as usability. Check first: brand-led; less evidence in regulatory workflow depth or multi-product consolidation.

Eleken offers subscription-based UX design tailored to SaaS and fintech companies — a dedicated designer on a monthly plan rather than a scoped project. That model suits product teams that need continuous design capacity for a growing B2B fintech interface.
Best for: SaaS-model fintech teams wanting embedded design capacity month to month. Check first: subscription model is less suited to a discrete, high-stakes launch or a regulator-facing redesign with a fixed deadline.

UX Studio starts with research — deep user discovery before a single pixel is designed — which pays off in complex B2B SaaS and financial software where user workflows are intricate and the cost of a wrong assumption is high. Its embedded-team model has worked with Netflix, the UN World Food Programme, Brenntag, and Lupl, with particular depth in European fintech and digital banking.
Best for: mid-market and enterprise B2B fintech with complex multi-role workflows. Check first: Europe-centred portfolio; less shipped proof in APAC or Gulf regulatory regimes.

Phenomenon Studio combines UX practice with modern-stack execution (Webflow, React, Angular) and tracks post-launch metrics as part of its engagement model. Its core positioning is outcome-driven and built with scale in mind from the start; its Sway Finance case is the published fintech example.
Best for: fintech teams that need design paired with scalable technical delivery and want the agency accountable to measured results. Check first: a younger fintech portfolio than the specialists above.

Beyond the seven scored above, four more names recur across fintech-specific buyer's guides — each with a narrower specialism worth knowing before you shortlist:
Two things stand out. First, only one agency on the list has published proof at national-infrastructure scale — a payment interface used by 10M+ people in its first ten days behaves differently under load and scrutiny than a funded startup's beta. Second, almost every specialist publishes a rate and minimum, and NetBramha doesn't; if you're benchmarking on price, ask early.
None of this is a brand exercise. It's information architecture and trust design solving for scale most fintech products won't reach for years — which is exactly the muscle you want available when yours does.
