Snapshot

WE OBSERVED

Users manually withdrawing all their Turkish lira at night to chase high overnight bank interest, creating friction and draining platform liquidity

Night

Overnight

Manual process to earn overnight interest

So we built

An auto-sweep feature that sweeps your cash to a partner bank overnight and returns it by morning, ready to trade.

Where I came in

I owned content for activation, onboarding, portfolio, transaction history, notifications, and emails, translating complex mechanics and compliance rules into a frictionless, localized experience.

AND HOW IT PAID OFF

USERS

Enjoyed effortless yield and instant liquidity for trading, eliminating the need for daily, manual transfers

BUSINESS

Retained funds on OKX, grew AUM, and boosted trading activity
