Problem
Slice users had to context-switch to their bank's app or net-banking portal every time they needed a savings-account statement (for rent receipts, tax filing, visa applications). This broke Slice's promise of being the single financial hub for young India.
Users
Slice's core 22-28 year-old cohort โ first-job earners, renters, and freelancers who need monthly/quarterly statements for landlords, accountants, and embassies but find traditional banking apps clunky.
Hypothesis
If users can request, preview, and download a stamped bank statement directly inside Slice, time-to-statement will drop from 7+ minutes (external app) to under 60 seconds, increasing 30-day app retention.
Wireframes
Designed three flows: (1) Quick statement โ last 30 days, instant PDF; (2) Custom range with calendar picker; (3) Shareable view-only link for landlords / accountants with redacted account number.
Solution
An 'Account โ Statements' entry in the home tab with one-tap presets ('Last month', 'This FY', 'Custom'). Statements are pre-stamped server-side and shareable via a tokenized link that expires in 7 days.
What I'd take with me.
Embedded micro-utilities (like statement access) drive disproportionate retention because they replace a small but recurring friction point users barely noticed they had.
