Behavioural interventions for financial services

Behavioural science seeks to understand the factors which influence how we, as humans, behave and why we behave that way. This database of rigorous behavioural science studies relates to people’s decision to take-up or use financial products.

Our team is excited to test where, when and how behavioural science can improve outcomes for people across the developing world. If you would like to explore the effective use of behavioural interventions, contact us.

This database reflects a systematic review of behaviourally informed interventions that have significantly impacted the financial decisions of individuals as they engage with credit, savings, payment and insurance products (excluding health insurance).
