Hello,
 
I'm a Master's student at University College London and am looking for better ways to help people (particularly expats) actively manage their finances. To do that I would need you to tell me about your personal finance management habits and what features of a potential site/app would benefit you when making financial decisions.
 
I have created a short survey (please see link below) and was wondering if it would be possible for anyone to fill out? Any help would be much appreciated.

The questions are not intended to get any specific information about your financial situation or assess your knowledge, but rather the attitudes and habits around your finance.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the survey or the project please feel free to message me.

Many thanks.

That was interesting-  Please come back later and tell us what you learned. So many times we get these surveys and never find out what happens!  :)

Done.  One comment regarding the question about likes/dislikes about online banking, but wasn't an option is this:   I hate that all banks I've experienced so far in the UK (Natwest, Lloyds, HSBC) make logging into their online services so secure that it's just about impossible to actually log in!! 

So now I've had to write down all my log-in details so I don't manage to screw it up, then get locked out of my online account until I call them and try my hardest to remember my telephone PIN, which is obviously different from my regular Cashpoint/Card PIN....what a nightmare!  So everything's written down, which isn't particularly safe!!

Previously I've used mint.com for services I think your survey is focusing on, but stopped using it as it was unable to accommodate for foreign UK banks.

Started your survey, but fell at the 2nd hurdle.  As i earn less than £15k pa, there wasn't an income category that applied to me.  The survey doesn't appear to be interested in the 'precariat class'!
