Participants needed for short-term credit research

Have you borrowed money online?


We are looking to speak to people about their experiences of accessing and using short-term credit products through digital devices like smartphones, laptops, PCs or tablets.

Short-term credit products might include payday loans, instalment loans, guarantor loans or purchases from weekly payment stores that you have accessed online.

Discussions will last between 45 minutes and 1 hour and take place at a time and place convenient to you. Participants will be given a £20 shopping voucher as a thank you for their involvement in the research.

Your experiences are important in helping to produce evidence and recommendations about how digital devices are changing the credit market and impacting people’s everyday lives. All interviews will be confidential and anonymised and participants would be entitled to receive a report outlining the key findings of the research at the end of the project.

If you would like to take part, please contact Rachel Gordon at Newcastle University: rachel.gordon@newcastle.ac.uk.
