To enable secure and seamless cardless cash withdrawal at partner ATMs without requiring a physical debit card.
Project Summary
Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) wanted to make it easier for users, especially those in rural areas to access their cash without relying on a physical debit card. Many of these users didn’t live near a BSI ATM, which meant they had to travel further or pay extra fees to use third-party machines.
The idea was to create a cardless withdrawal feature that was simple, secure, and easy to find in the app. By allowing users to withdraw money from a wider network of ATMs without a card, I aimed to remove common pain points and make the experience much more convenient for BSI customers.

The Challenge
❓ The Problems
BSI customers faced key pain points that significantly affected their banking experience and access to financial services. Our research and user feedback revealed these pressing issues:
Limited ATM Access: BSI had a relatively smaller ATM network, especially in rural areas. Which made it difficult for customers to find accessible cash withdrawal points. So users often had to travel far or pay extra fees to withdraw cash.
Dependence on Debit Cards: Many customers expressed frustration over the need to carry a physical debit card at all times. If a card was lost, forgotten, or damaged, customers were left without a way to access cash, causing stress and inconvenience.

My PM and I collaborated with the research and customer support teams to come up with the questions, and we sat in on the Interviews led by our researchers followed by Survey and Competitor Analysis.
1. Qualitative Interview
Conducted a deep dive interview with BSI users aged 30–55 living in rural areas
Objectives:
Learn about user’s cardless withdrawal experiences with other banking apps
Explore their feedback and insights to help cardless withdrawal concepts and find areas for improvement

Benchmarked against existing cardless solutions from other competitors in Indonesia such as Bank BCA and Bank Mandiri.
Conclusions:
Bank BCA keeps it super straightforward. However, adding an extra security check for bigger withdrawals could give users more peace of mind.
Bank Mandiri feels more secure with its multiple steps, but it can be a bit rigid, especially when you need to re-enter your PIN.

Through the research, I identified several critical pain points that guided our approach:
Reduce redundant verification steps or provide a fast track mode for frequent users who prioritize speed over extra security prompts.

User Persona
User Persona
Based on the research findings, I identified two main user personas: one is a younger, tech savvy user, while the other is older with a more moderate level of tech familiarity.
User Journey
User Journey
After figuring out the target users, I decided to learn more about their current experience managing cardless transaction situations with the aim to seamlessly integrate an improved version of it in BSI ecosystem.
From the result of the interviews, I managed to map out their current cardless withdrawals journey in competitors app (BCA) looking closely at every step users take to withdraw from start until completion.
I spotted fresh opportunities to refine our own approach. These insights shape new ideas that can make the cardless withdrawal experience smoother and more rewarding for users.

My Takeaways
📖 Lessons from: Reinventing Cardless Withdrawal
When I started improving withdrawals, I thought the challenge would be convincing people to go cardless. Turns out, they were open to it, they just needed clarity, security, and ease to make the switch.
A big issue? People didn’t even know the feature existed. Once I made it more visible in the Superapp, adoption took off. Security was another sticking point, users needed reassurance that their money was safe, so adding PIN verification, OTPs helped build trust.
👀 What's The Next Plan?
I'm already thinking about what comes next. Biometric authentication will take convenience to the next level, allowing users to withdraw cash with just a (hello, Face ID and fingerprints), expanding to international ATMs for travelers, and rolling out scheduled withdrawals so users can plan ahead.
