Co.Payment: a wallet for two currencies

Dollars on top, pounds underneath.

In Syria people price things in dollars and pay in pounds, at a rate that changes every day. Co.Payment is a mobile wallet built around that, and I designed the full iOS app on a freelance contract. It hasn't been published.

In Syria, money has two prices.

People price things in dollars but pay in Syrian pounds, at a rate that changes daily. Visa and Mastercard don't work, and many people have no bank account. The fastest way to move money in is USDT, a digital dollar.

Someone paying at a small shop.

Picture a customer in Aleppo paying a shop owner who has a phone, not a card machine. They need to know what they can afford in both currencies without doing maths in their head.

A wallet made for paying at the counter.

I designed 53 screens: sign-up, ID checks, home, transfers, QR payments and support. Paying starts with a scan: the big middle button opens the camera and the amount fills itself in. Soft cream and blue keep it friendly rather than bank-like.

Both numbers, always.

The home screen shows your balance in dollars, big, with the pound value right under it. The same pair comes back at checkout, with the fee shown separately. And USDT top-up sits next to the local option, not hidden behind an 'Advanced' switch.

Money on a phone, three decisions.

All three came from how people here already pay.

USDT as a normal option

Top-up by digital dollar sits right next to the local method, named plainly. There's no 'Advanced' switch to find.

Scan first at the counter

The big middle button opens the camera. The merchant and the amount fill in from the code.

Latin digits for money

The interface reads right-to-left, but amounts, dates and card numbers stay in Latin digits, because that's how people read receipts.

What I designed.

Sign-in and biometrics, ID checks, home and statistics, transfers and QR payment, card creation, notifications, chat support, profile and settings.

The wallet's visual system

Settle the palette first.

The wallet keeps both currencies together and treats USDT as a normal way to add money. My mistake was starting screens before the palette was settled: the green splash screen doesn't match the rest of the app.
