My first project at Capitalize: Challenging assumptions and influencing partner selection

This case study is still a WIP

Background

How Capitalize Works (at the time)

Capitalize offers free rollovers and earns a commission from financial instituions. Capitalize only receives comission from partnered financial instituions. Capitalize will move money to any institution, but prefers if user select their partners.

Current State

  • Previous tests did not improve selection rate and had a negative impact on conversion
  • Stakeholders wanted a page with all institutions grouped in categories.

Goals & Requirements

  • Increase monetized rollovers
  • Reduce Drop-off
  • Don’t negatively impact overall conversion

Process

  1. Question Assumptions
  2. Reduce Choices
    1. Jam Study (The Paradox of Choice) - If we reduce the number of choices a user has to make on this page, we will see higher conversion
    2. Grouping for slight comparison of types - Behavior design class
  3. UserTesting
    1. “See Fidelity, pick Fidelity”
    2. Quick choices
  4. A/B Testing

Outcomes

  • 350%+ increase in preferred partner selection (!!!)
  • No decrease in user experience or product satisfaction (no increase in customer complaints, survey and NPS responses did not change)

Next Steps

This was a great solution when we had only a few partners. As we partnered with more IRA companies, we needed a way to scale this concept (this case study is on the way next!)
