Brief summary of project

This data originates from a survey that was part of the pilot project “The Impact of FinTech Apps on Consumer Wellbeing”. Its focus was to test and evaluate a data collection strategy to better understand young adults’ financial circumstances. Beyond income and expenditure patterns, the survey elicited financial decision-making strategies, and FinTech app familiarity. Additional topics cover aspects of housing, deprivation, weekly activities, and personality traits and preferences.

Young adults (aged 18-30) from various walks of life were recruited via different channels: Student populations were accessed by on-campus and newsletter recruitment activities, young urban residents via survey outreach points across Bristol, and potential FinTech users via the collaboration partner’s network.
