Telekom · NFC payment

Paying by phone, before Google and Apple

MyWallet was the NFC payment product of Telekom's payments unit. As the responsible UX designer and design-team lead I brought it to market: launched before Google Pay and Apple Pay, awarded the German Design Award.

Context

In the Scrum team with development

The payments unit conceived and validated all payment products, P2P, NFC and more. I owned the NFC product MyWallet, sat in the Scrum team with development and optimised the workflows. The MyWallet design team was very small, up to three designers, part of the eight-person payments team.

Leverage

A clean UI Kit as precursor to the design system

The UI Kit made the team so efficient that we could start expanding into MyTicket and MyCouponing while the business was already seeking partners.

**Result.** MyWallet actually launched, ahead of the two giants, and was in active use until they undercut it.
