Enabling online purchases with BSI VISA debit cards and simplifying e-commerce activation to overcome previous challenges and support growth.

Project Summary

Many BSI customers couldn’t use their debit cards for online shopping, which made everyday things, like ordering food or buying from e-commerce stores way more difficult than it should be. Unlike other banks, users simply couldn’t use their debit cards for online shopping because there was no activation feature in place, and that was becoming a big pain point. So, I set out to design a simple, secure way for users to activate e-commerce transactions on their VISA debit cards, making it easy to shop online.

Early Frictions I Uncovered

I identified key pain points that were clearly getting in the way of BSI customers trying to shop online. I discovered quite a few early constraints when I started, here’s what stood out:

Research & Insights

💬 Internal Discussion with Engineer

There was way I explored areas of improvement and opportunity for VISA E-Comm Activation Feature.

My PM and I also teamed up with our engineers to make sure our ideas hit the right security standards. Together, we looked at competitor benchmarks to see what could be improved.

From those chats, a couple of important security ideas came up that we knew had to be part of the solution:

👥 Define The Users

Start by defining the users, then conduct a mix of Qualitative & Quantitative research to understand user expectations, pain points, and preferences clearly.

I began by defining our users (tech-savvy individuals aged 25–40 and moderate-tech BSI users aged 41–55) all living in urban and semi urban areas across Indonesia and regularly online shopping using mobile banking, debit cards, and online payments.

Many of them expressed frustration over being unable to use their VISA debit cards for online shopping. Common issue included frequent transaction failures.

🔍 2 Research Projects Were Conducted

1. Blast Survey (Quantitative)

I sent a simple questions on Google Forms survey to 300 BSI users, asking about their online shopping, digital payment, and debit card habits.

I wanted to see how often they shop with their debit cards online and pinpoint the frictions they run into.

2. In-Depth Interview

(Qualitative)

To strengthen our research, I also ran a few hands on session with BSI users, how they turn on online shopping for their debit cards in different banking apps.

I talked about everything, from how often they shop online and any issues they’ve encountered with their debit cards, to their desire activation flow would look like.

💡 Identify The Key Findings from Both Research Projects

This can be categorized into four key pain points users encounter when trying to use their VISA debit cards for online shopping

These insights help me clearly see where the experience breaks down and what needs to be improved.

Users are being held back by four key pain points: unclear activation, unexplained transaction failures, buried settings, and no feedback when things go wrong.

📌 Based on The Research I Identified, I Formulated Our Goals

"How might we create a smooth online shopping experience by helping users easily understand and activate their VISA debit cards, so they can shop with confidence and ease?"

User Flow

I then created the flowchart below to show the step by step journey users go through to activate their VISA debit card for online shopping. It walks them through selecting their card, entering their PIN, and confirming the setup.
