Founded in 1690, Barclays is one of the most iconic financial institutions on the planet. Its fintech platform Rise operates on multiple continents, uniting founders, partners, clients, and fintech enthusiasts to facilitate growth and innovation. Serge Studios worked closely with Rise’s London and New York branches to bring their new website and community app to life.

With the goal of promoting the Rise brand and onboarding new fintech companies to the community, as well as enhancing the experience for the existing members, we completely redesigned the Rise digital platform. While treating the physical spaces and events as the focal point, we augmented the real-world experience with a host of useful services and aids. Attending and tracking events, connecting to new clients or vendors, or simply booking your meeting room—all of this is now possible thanks to the Rise app.
