It is an exciting time to be a Usability Analyst at BB&T. One of the ways BBT.com sets itself apart is through the user experience team. We are looking for usability professionals of all experience levels to join our dynamic UX team and help take BBT.com into the future. BB&T’s online presence is entering a new and exciting phase. With many new applications, enhancements and innovative marketing and promotion components, BB&T is solidifying its reputation as the industry’s leading Online Channel. Here is what an independent, well respected research firm had to say about us in 2007.
In late 2005, the BB&T eBusiness group assembled a team to rebuild and rethink the online checking account application and associated processes. The team, which involved key members of the organization, rethought and redesigned long-standing processes and built a checking account application that promises to be the envy of the industry. The new application has resulted in more sales, reduced costs, and a better overall customer experience. But more importantly, the story of how the application came together is a blueprint for other eBusiness organizations.*
