Instant transaction notifications are now standard in modern finance apps, giving users real-time awareness of their spending. But most of these alerts are passive: a basic amount, merchant name, and timestamp. Users rarely act on them—and often swipe them away. There’s an opportunity to make these alerts more useful, contextual, and engaging.
Current transaction alerts are static and informational, offering little value beyond awareness. Users can’t take meaningful action—like categorizing, flagging, or following up—without opening the full app. The challenge is to redesign transaction notifications to support quick actions, behavioral nudges, and context that helps users manage their money more effectively.
