Yep. WeSwappers, we've got a brand new look!
The last few months have been very busy here at WeSwap Towers. We’ve been talking to as many of you as possible to understand how we can make using WeSwap slicker, easier and more useful for your holidays. And today we're delighted to reveal the first of many updates to come - a whole brand spanking new design.
The result? Well, hopefully you’ll agree that all things swapping have taken a big step forward, both in usability and design. So without further ado, go ahead - dive in and take a look around.
WHAT’S NEW? LOTS!
We’ve taken our fine-toothed comb to pretty much every single area of our service. From the obvious, such as our revamped homepage and cards, to the more subtle, such as the letter you get when you join us. But let us give you some highlights:
SIMPLER SWAPPING
Those of you who’ve been with us a while will know our swap dashboard wasn't quite as intuitive as it could be. SO we’ve taken a clean sheet approach to redesigning it. You’ll see a much cleaner layout, with all the key actions right there in front of you. No more messy navigation, no more hidden functions – just clean, simple and quick.
HAPPIER APPS
We rather feel like we’re making a confession here, but like our dashboard, our apps needed a definite upgrade. So we’ve gone ahead and developed brand new iOS and Android apps. Like our new dashboards, you’ll find all the core activities much easier to find and use, and we’ve made a real effort to make each platform feel consistent with the experience you have elsewhere with WeSwap.
Don't forget to update your version of the app, and look out for our new icon on your homescreen!
MORE HELPFUL HELP. CHAT TOO!
Our old Help section left a little to be desired. We’ve rebuilt it from the ground up – better articles, easier to find. Plus, if you’re struggling to find what you need, we now also offer live chat where you can get some one-on-one time with one of our lovely Customer Support whizzes.
BYE, BYE BEE. HELLO NEW WESWAP.
And of course - we've got a brand new visual identity and logo!
Why the change? We’ve been on such a brilliant journey since 2013 - hundreds of thousands of people are swapping currency round the world, all thanks to you. And now that we have a better understanding than ever before about our travellers, brand and what it means to you, we feel it's time to amplify our purpose and properly shout about the most important bits of WeSwap - putting power back into the hands of ordinary travellers like you and us.
So bye bye bee, you’ve been a good friend. It’s time for a new logo - we call it the “Open W”.
We’re determined to make travel money as fair and stress free as possible, so we all have more to spend on the important things on holiday. Sangria. Bike rides. Emergency sun cream. So stay tuned, there’s so much more to come.
Huge thanks to the thousands of members in our community who shared feedback to help shape it - keep the comments coming!
