User experience is the feelings of users when using products, under the joint action of products, people and the environment. As technologies develop, and new products and services emerge in an endless stream, the behavior and psychology of consumers are constantly changing. We will analyze and summarize the user experience trends from four latitudes: technology, hardware, environment and users. In this changeable industry, we have to understand these trends when we are designing and improving new designs, and preparing for the upcoming future.

For Moorwand, Open Banking has allowed the company to help other FinTechs integrate payments capabilities into their own platforms. Its latest initiative includes a partnership with small business accounting firm Telleroo, which now enables its small business accountant users to make payments on behalf of their SMB clients thanks to a Moorwand integration.
Traditionally, accountants and their SMBs have to access separate platforms, be it other payment or online banking portals, to initiate payment. API integrations can streamline and consolidate that experience from within the accounting platform, making for a more convenient user experience.

With the exception of some types of customer research and testing that must be done on site or in person, CX and UX jobs can be performed completely remotely.

For every digital business, the primary touchpoint for their consumers is the website or the application where brand interactions are created, and opinions are formed. For such businesses, user experience is a crucial part of a customer’s overall brand experience.
