BEHAVIOUR NEEDS
QUOTESFRUSTRATIONS
“Low Interest rates. This is the priority. Nothing
else really matters. The amount you have to pay
back each month too.”
Would use a loan for an emergency or a large
purchase as a last resort.
Private individual so prefers not to discuss money
with friends, but maybe his family.
Very traditional and risk averse so doesn’nt like to
over leverage himself.
Believes in traditional discipline or saving and
doesn’t subscribe to having it now.
Likes to know all the facts and options before
making a decision.
Would begin any research online – the obvious
choice being moneysupermarket.com – which he
has used in the past then he would look at all the
other comparison sites.
Believes financial services should empower the
consumer to make an informed decision.
“As long as they're covered by the FSA I woul’dnt
be worried.”
“IT REALLY BOILS DOWN TO THE RATE,
THEN I’D LOOK AT OTHER FEATURES
FOLLOWED BY THE T&C’S”
“I’ve been stung in the past so I always
check out the small print, just to be sure.”
“I use spreadsheets {to budget} and have
done so for years.”
“Living on your own {financial} decisions
are much more critical.”
Simon has a good career with above average
income. He recently bought his first flat and is
in the middle of refurbishing some of the
rooms. he is a private individual and risk
averse.
He has had 0% finance for car and furniture

needs something.
