- Personalised Account design: Users can customise account appearances with wallpapers and soon prompt Lunar AI Assistant for unique designs or upload their own images.
- Insights for businesses: The new design of the insight area aligns the experience between consumer and business, giving business users rich spending, incoming, and cashflow insights for the first time.
- Sleek new Design: Lunar’s updated aesthetic features a refined color palette, dynamic 3D assets, and enhanced typography and iconography.
Enhanced functionality and personalised designThe update brings new customisation tools and a redesigned interface, making it easier for users to personalise their financial experience.

Additionally, connected accounts from other banks have risen by 26%, and adoption of SAS EuroBonus has grown by 18%. While these early results are promising, we’re focused on continuing to refine our approach and look forward to seeing how these trends evolve over time”, concludes Christina Vestergaard.
