Broker trading app
A Pakistan Stock Exchange app that takes a first-time investor from download to their first trade — with ID checks that don't feel like paperwork.
At a glance
- 01The problem
Opening a brokerage account in Pakistan means CNIC checks, income proof and NCCPL biometrics — a lot to ask before someone has even seen a stock.
- 02What I did
Designed the full journey: onboarding, a two-path account setup, ID and income verification, then markets, watchlist, analytics and trade logs.
- 03The result
One continuous flow from first launch to first order, with every verification step explained in plain language before it's asked for.
Most people quit before their first trade.
Investing on the PSX starts with regulation: a CNIC, photos of both sides, sometimes income proof, then biometric verification with NCCPL. Each step is reasonable on its own, but stacked together and unexplained they turn a curious first-time investor into an abandoned sign-up.
- 01Get beginners to a working account with the least possible friction
- 02Make every verification step feel guided, not bureaucratic
- 03Keep live market data calm and readable on a small screen
Verification, one clear step at a time.
A three-part progress bar, a single decision per screen and a lime primary action that never moves. Photos are shown back before submitting, and the success screen explains what happens next — approval and biometrics — instead of leaving people guessing.
How much should a beginner have to prove before they can invest?
Most first-time investors start small. Making income proof optional for them removes the heaviest step from the path to a first trade, while active traders still get an unlimited account — and nobody hits a surprise requirement halfway through.
Dense market data, calm on a phone.
One row pattern — logo, symbol, volume, sparkline, price — carries through Markets and Watchlist. Gains are lime, losses are red, and the trade button sits in the centre of the tab bar, one tap from anywhere.

Night-mode navy, one electric accent.
A deep navy canvas keeps long sessions comfortable, and a single lime carries every primary action and every gain. Red appears only for losses, sells and cancellations, so colour always means something.
Regulated, without feeling it.
The result is one continuous journey — from first launch, through two account paths and guided verification, to markets, analytics and order management — where every requirement is explained before it's asked for and the next step is always the lime button at the bottom.
