Skinny banner

Digital Experience

Use this pattern to deliver information to customers when they are logged into their banking. It is a less obtrusive and space-saving manner compared to traditional pop-up dialogs or full-screen notifications.

The skinny banner is best used following a push notification, serving as a subtle yet effective tool to re-engage and prompt action from the user. It functions as a gentle reminder, to the user to take the desired action.

What’s happening here?

Message text – the message is presented at the top of the page to gain awareness. We limit length to ensure a full display of the notification. The longer the message, the lower the engagement (clicks) of the customer.

Make the message clear and concise to promote action.

Call to action - guides the customer to a desired outcome or goal.

Why do we do it this way?
