Client: PayPal
Designation: Sr. Interaction Designer
Develop and design user centric elements from wireframes to advance prototype for PayPal. The
work involves:
Project:
Quick Draw Settlement Withdrawal:
The goal of the “QuickDraw” initiative is to develop liquid bank withdrawal products using wires in
United Kingdom (existing Withdrawal capability), Argentina, Vietnam, (new bank Withdrawal
capability) and using local ACH-out in Brazil, Israel and Malaysia (new bank Withdrawal
capability), through a single platform (Citi WorldLink platform).
Withdrawal capability via ACH-out and Wire enables users to withdraw funds from their PP
balance to the local bank accounts in a timely, convenient, and relatively cheap (for ACH)
manner. It provides incentive for sellers to sign-up for PP and to use it as a way to facilitate
business transactions.
In the markets like UK, a faster withdrawal option coupled with multi-currency settlement will meet
key requirements of merchants, positioning PayPal for higher adoption in large and mega
merchant’s segments.
