Document summary
This document outlines the efforts undertaken and results obtained in verifying the usability of core user journeys within the Moniepoint transfer feature.
Objectives
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the user experience and align our products with strategic goals, we have identified the System Usability Scale (SUS) score as a key performance indicator (KPI) for user satisfaction. Additionally, we will be tracking two other critical usability metrics: time on task and success rate. These metrics will provide a comprehensive view of how well our product supports primary user goals across web and mobile platforms.
The purpose of this usability test is to establish a usability benchmark for the product, which will serve as a foundation for future improvements.

Core user journeys
Persona | Core journey | Rationale |
---|---|---|
Adebayo (35y/o) | Initiating a transfer to new recipient | This journey represents 90% of transfers, making it critical for user satisfaction and app utility. It was selected based on comprehensive analysis of user behavior data. |
Emeka (40y/o) | Sending money to a saved beneficiary | While less common than new recipient transfers, this journey is important for understanding how the app supports repeated transactions and user convenience |
Chinwe (28 y/o) | Setting up a recurring transfer | This journey is crucial for users who need to make regular payments. It was chosen to evaluate the app's ability to handle more complex, long-term transfer setups. |
Fatima (32y/o) | Managing/deleting a recurring transfer | Essential for providing users control over their automated transfers. It was selected to assess the flexibility and user-friendliness of the recurring transfer feature |
Oluwaseun (45y/o) | Reviewing transfer history/downloading statements | Critical for user trust and financial management. It was chosen to evaluate the app's transparency and ability to provide clear transaction records. |
Amina (38y/o) | Performing bulk transfer to multiple recipients | Important for business users who need to make multiple payments efficiently. It was selected to assess the app's capability to handle complex, multi-recipient transfers |
Test environment
The initial plan was to conduct moderated tests using a live testing account.
However, due to geographical constraints, this approach would have limited our participants to users from only one of the 36 states.
To overcome this limitation, we opted for unmoderated, remote testing using mobile interactive prototypes accessible on both mobile devices and web browsers. This method allowed for broader geographical coverage and more diverse participant inclusion. Upon completing each core journey test, participants were asked to answer a series of questions and indicate their satisfaction level, providing valuable quantitative and qualitative feedback.

Usability metrics and results
Success rate definition
Delete this info panel, this is only for guidance.
Success criteria:
A task is considered successful if the participant completes it as intended within the defined parameters, without assistance, and within a reasonable time frame.
Define clear success criteria for each task, such as reaching a specific page, completing a transaction, or filling out a form correctly.
Measurement:
Success rate will be calculated as the percentage of participants who successfully complete each task according to the predefined criteria.
SUS score
SUS is a standardised questionnaire used to measure the usability of a product, using a 10 questions 5-point scale to generate a score between 0 and 100, with higher indicating higher usability.
The average SUS score is typically 68. A score of 68 or higher is generally considered acceptable or better than average. Above 70 is good, and above 80 is excellent.
Time on task
The time it takes participants to complete each journey. Shorter times generally indicate better usability. This metric helps to measure efficiency.
[insert journey name]: users should/are expected to complete this journey within X minutes.
