We organised a 2 week-long remote design jam (hackathon) around Account Aggregators sponsored by @Facebook and in partnership with @sahamati, @parallel_hq, @IndiaDice & @CIIEIndia
A thread of the ideas presented





We had 9 teams consisting of a designer, product managers, founders, policy experts and facilitators.
- This year's industry participants - @Razorpay, @rupeekapp, @_groww, @savemo_app, @Early_Salary and @scripbox
- Along with students from NID & Srishti
Each team were given a persona and a fintech use case (Lending, Expense Management, Portfolio Management etc. )
Design Jam's objective
'How might we design a trustworthy UX for an individual to share data using AA'

We would be taking a few of these prototypes to real users to test their usability. Following which a design playbook for data sharing in financial services would be published.
