Mortgages, pensions, investments, insurance - decisions that are deeply personal, highly emotive, and difficult to explore honestly in a group setting. Qualzy's async format gives participants the time and privacy to open up.
From product development to communications testing to customer experience - Qualzy supports the full range of qualitative research that financial services brands and agencies need.
Understand the emotional and rational journey of buying a home - the anxieties, the compromises, the information-seeking. Diary studies track the decision over weeks, capturing the consideration process as it unfolds rather than through retrospective recall.
Pensions are uniquely difficult to research - people feel guilty about under-saving, confused by complexity, and reluctant to admit they don't understand. Async journalling, in a private setting, removes the social shame and surfaces honest attitudes towards retirement planning.
Understand how investors - from ISA novices to experienced wealth management clients - think about risk, return, and trust. Private video responses and extended journalling give participants the space to be candid about financial attitudes they'd rarely share in a group.
From product comprehension to claims experience to brand trust - insurance research spans some of the most emotive consumer experiences. Qualzy captures the anger, confusion, and relief of insurance interactions with the depth that closed-ended surveys cannot reach.
Map how consumers manage their finances daily - apps they use, frustrations they encounter, the moments where trust is built or broken. Screen recordings with verbal commentary capture digital banking journeys in real time, revealing the friction points that survey responses mask.
Deliberative and exploratory research to understand consumer attitudes to financial regulation, product fairness, and consumer duty obligations. Structured multi-stage communities expose participants to information and track how attitudes develop over time.
Money is one of the most socially fraught topics in qualitative research. In a group setting, participants position themselves - they understate debt, exaggerate financial confidence, and say what they think sounds responsible. The group dynamic actively works against the honesty you need.
Qualzy's async format removes all of that. Participants respond privately, in their own time, without an audience. The result is candid responses about financial anxiety, embarrassment, and genuine decision-making processes that focus groups rarely surface.
Financial services are increasingly digital - and digital product research needs tools that can follow consumers into those experiences. Qualzy's screen recording activity captures how participants navigate banking apps, comparison sites, and online application forms, with verbal narration running alongside.
This gives you the cognitive walkthrough you'd normally only get in a UX lab - but conducted in the participant's own environment, on their own device, without the artificiality of an observed session.
Security and depth in equal measure - the platform capabilities that matter most when the topic is money.
Certified information security management. Sensitive financial data and participant information is handled to the standard regulated sectors require.
Participant responses visible only to the research team - not to other participants. Ideal for sensitive financial topics where social positioning is a concern.
Capture how participants navigate banking apps, comparison sites, and financial application journeys - with verbal narration, on their own device.
Track financial decision journeys as they unfold - from initial trigger through consideration to final commitment. No recall bias.
Multi-stage communities that expose participants to information and track how attitudes evolve - ideal for FCA consumer duty and financial behaviour research.
Query the full participant dataset at any point - "What concerns are participants raising about charges transparency?" - answered conversationally in seconds.
"It isn't about features - Qualzy will continue to succeed because they are good, honest people. I honestly feel that they care."
Pam Goldfarb Liss, President - LitBrainsFinancial services research is uniquely dependent on participant honesty - and honesty in a group setting is structurally compromised by social dynamics. Qualzy's private, async format is purpose-built for topics where what people say in a group room bears little resemblance to how they actually think and behave.
