The Digital Silk agency has noticed a significant increase in demand from U.S. banking institutions for user experience (UX) audits and speed optimization in 2025. According to Gabriel Shaoolian, CEO of Digital Silk, this surge in demand can be attributed to the growing need for mobile-first design, intuitive interfaces, and faster page loads in the financial services sector. Key Trends
• 36% increase in inquiries centered on improving mobile experience, user flows, and load performance
• 28% reduction in mobile bounce rates through modern design and performance-driven web development
• Seamless handoffs between desktop and mobile platforms
“Over the past quarter, we’ve seen a 36% rise in banking-related inquiries centered on improving mobile experience, user flows and load performance,”
says Shaoolian. “Financial institutions are recognizing that clunky navigation or even a two-second delay can lead to user drop-off and app abandonment. UX isn’t just a bonus anymore-it’s essential to customer retention.”
