Case Study: Unbanx Achieves 90-Second Onboarding with Stytch SMS Passcodes

Streamlines sign-ups to <90-seconds with Stytch's SMS Passcodes

Unbanx, a startup focused on Web3, open banking, and open data, needed a secure, frictionless onboarding experience that would help users sign up quickly without dealing with passwords. The company challenged its authentication provider to complete a three-part signup flow, including bank account linking, in under 90 seconds. Unbanx chose Stytch’s SMS One-Time Passcodes to replace cumbersome password-based login.

With Stytch, Unbanx implemented passwordless SMS authentication that was easy to integrate and flexible enough to customize their app’s UI and error handling. The result was a faster, smoother onboarding flow that met the 90-second goal, reduced development time, and improved the user experience by eliminating password friction. Stytch also gave Unbanx a scalable auth foundation for future growth, including potential support for OAuth sign-in options.
