35 Innovative and Inspirational Website Designs in Banking

Ten years ago, most websites in the banking industry were pretty ugly. Functional? Yes. Attractive? No. How times have changed since.

Here’s a collection of websites that caught The Financial Brand’s eye in the last few months. What stands out to us? All the junk and noise that plagued earlier versions of websites is gone. The navigation is simpler, and the amount of information presented on the home page has been significantly pared back. Generally, most of the sites featured here have fewer than 150 words total on the page (including navigation links). They rely heavily on evocative imagery to create a visually striking impression. All are responsive, and a few even incorporate parallax scrolling. Perhaps the biggest trend emerging is that the design style is inspired from — if not entirely driven by — the mobile browsing experience.
