These global competitions are judged by famous design industry professionals and experts with the highest standards and dozens of years of experience in selecting the best designs from thousands of submissions.

The my.t money Super App was designed as a groundbreaking solution for modern Mauritians, streamlining their lives by providing an all-in-one platform to address both financial and lifestyle requirements. Instead of managing multiple apps and services, this innovative super app from Mauritius Telecom empowers the Mauritian community within a single, user-friendly interface. To achieve this seamless integration of various services without overwhelming users with complexity, UXDA's challenge was to create a mobile banking app that offers rich features while ensuring a smooth user experience. This required thoughtful planning, exploration, prioritization and the validation of hundreds of user scenarios.

The result is a game-changing banking super app that empowers modern Mauritians to take control of their financial and lifestyle needs conveniently in one place. The my.t money Super App is not just a convergence of services; it is a testament to the power of user-centric design, simplifying and enhancing the lives of Mauritians.

Why do Mauritius Telecom and other leading companies from 36 countries order the design of their digital financial products in UXDA? Since our company was founded 8 years ago, the UXDA team has set the highest bar possible in the design quality we create. And now we celebrate the fact that UXDA's design team delivers to the highest product design standard – the Red Dot Design standard.
