# App analysis: PayPal vs. Wise

The fintech industry finds in PayPal and Wise two of its main players. Although very different in functionality at times, both apps share similarities in making transfers and other payments.

How effective are their UI designs in helping users manage their finances without a fuss? Is the UX of these apps appropriate for handling money?

## You can expect:

- A thorough UX audit of the PayPal and Wise apps
- 60+ screenshots that illustrate every aspect of the analysis
- Insights that you can apply to your own app

## Here's the deal:

Fintech apps need to instill trust. They need to be held to the highest security standards, but they also need to *feel* secure to the users.

The design of each UI and user flow will be key to creating this sense of security that users expect from a financial app. One slip and the trust is broken — leading to app abandonment.

In our UX analysis, we go over:

- Onboarding
- Creating an account
- Usability
- Making payments
- And much more
