Introduction: What is PSX, and Why UX Matters in Trading:

Every day, thousands of investors, brokers, and financial institutions buy and sell shares on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the nation's primary financial hub. The majority of brokers now provide online portals and mobile apps for trading, portfolio tracking, and market analysis as digital platforms replace traditional trading methods. However, many PSX brokerage platforms in Pakistan still suffer from poor UI/UX design, making them slow, confusing, and frustrating for both new and experienced investors. This not only affects the user experience but also undermines trust and reduces active user engagement.

Objective:

• Draw attention to the UI/UX issues that users encounter in PSX brokerage apps. 

• Make stakeholders aware of the significance of platforms that are easy to use. 

• Show how modern UI/UX can increase investor satisfaction and retention.

PSX Brokerage Platform Issues:

In Pakistan, numerous brokerage apps and websites are out of date, overloaded, or poorly designed. Some frequent problems include: 

• Crashing and slow loading times during market hours. 

• Dashboards that are cluttered and lack a clear call to action. 

• Poor mobile optimization.

• There aren't any accessibility features. 

• Uncertain data visualization, such as stock charts and graphs. 

• Non-responsive design on different screen sizes.

• Menus that are hard to read and user flows that are hard to understand.

Investors become dissatisfied, trades are missed, and confidence in online trading tools is lowered as a result of these flaws.

How Better UI/UX Can Help:

Good UI/UX design goes beyond looks; it’s about usability, speed, trust, and accessibility. Modern UI/UX enhances brokerage platforms in the following ways:

• Streamlined new user onboarding. 

• Reduce confusion with clear navigation and visual hierarchy. 

• Display of data in real time without lag. 

• Interactive dashboards for portfolio and stock analysis

• A mobile-first design for investors who are always on. 

• Enhanced security design with better alerts and workflows.

Why It Matters to the Financial Sector:

Every second counts in finance, and users may lose money due to sluggish or confusing platforms. Pakistanis expect the same level of quality from global fintech apps. For Pakistan's retail investment ecosystem to grow, digital trust and transparency are essential. User abandonment, negative reviews, and a poor reputation are all consequences of a poor experience.

Challenges in Improving UI/UX in PSX Platforms:

• Legacy systems are not compatible with modern designs.

• A lack of investment in UX testing or research. 

• There aren't enough local UX/UI professionals with fintech knowledge. 

• Conflicts between usability and security. 

• Resistance from brokers used to old systems.
