Simplii x Promotional Offer User Research

Strategic Research for Financial Product

Approximately 109K Simplii clients with High-Interest Savings Accounts have not engaged with Balance Build Offers (which provide bonus interest on any additional funds deposited) over the past nine months, leading us to identify the reasons for their lack of participation and increase engagement to boost deposits.

The result will be evidence-based insights into client behaviors, motivations, and barriers, enabling Simplii to design more compelling offers and engagement strategies that drive participation and deposit growth.
