Finder’s research team sometimes needs case studies who have had positive or negative experiences with their personal finances to accompany our research in order to help bring it to life. We are therefore building a database of case studies who would be willing to share their personal finance stories with us.
What’s in it for me?
If we use your case study in research that we send to journalists, we will pay you £60 for your contribution. This may also be featured on our website, like the example below. We also need case studies solely for our website from time to time and will pay £20 for people we select for this (if you haven’t already given your testimony as a press case study). Last but not least, you get to share your story and help other people with their finances!
Case study: Bank branch closure has left Samantha stressed
Samantha Evans
Wiltshire
It has made sure it's harder for me to access actual face-to-face support. It's meant that if I have a problem, I have to call or use my mobile banking app to access support.
There was no support offered or in place. To be honest, there wasn't very much warning either, and it was only by chance that I discovered it was closing.
What do I have to do?
To submit your story and be in with a chance of earning £60 for being a case study, you need to fill in this form.
The more detail you include in your response, the better, as this will increase the likelihood that we choose you to be part of our research! Experiences can be positive (e.g. a provider you have been impressed by or success you’ve had with a side hustle) or negative (you’ve been dealing with issues in a particular area or a company has treated you badly).
To give some further examples, this could be you talking about how you have a digital-only bank account (like Starling and Monzo) or about the steps you’ve taken to deal with the cost of living crisis or your mortgage.
Please leave your email below and if you prefer to be contacted via Twitter, you can also follow our head of research, Matt, on twitter and he might contact you on there as opposed to email. His handle is @mckmatt10 (https://twitter.com/MckMatt10).
If we decide to use your case study in our research, your story and a picture could appear in national news publications.
If you’re not comfortable with having your name and picture in the press, please don’t fill out this form.
Submit your case study
What might it look like if my case study is used?
The research, including your story and a picture, could appear in national news sites. In the unlikely event a TV news show wanted to cover the research, you may also be asked to be filmed for this.
Case studies bring our research to life and help people understand the real life stories behind personal finance issues, whether it’s bank accounts, investing, credit cards or the general cost of living (or anything else relating to finance!)
What happens if I no longer want to be part of the case study database?
Please direct any questions, concerns or requests to be taken off the database via email to: ukpr@finder.com and you can see our terms and policy here: https://www.finder.com/uk/privacy-policy
