Effective Behavioral Design: Savings Products

Questions & Answers

Featured Resource: Applying Behavioral Economics to Improve Microsavings Outcomes

SEEP_ideas42_MetLife_FoundationThis webinar in the “Behavioral Approaches for Financial Product Design” series introduced participants to design concepts and principles to use when constructing savings products.

Two common behavioral challenges in savings are that people are not saving, and that people are not saving enough to achieve these goals. Why do these occur?

This session explored these challenges through a behavioral science lense, exploring drivers and bottlenecks in clients' decisions to save. In addition to presenting new ways to understand and overcome these challenges, the presenters shared the practical experience of Swisscontact's savings programming for cocoa farmers in Indonesia.

This session also provided a strong basis from which participants can start thinking about how behavioral design applies to their customers and the savings products they use.

This webinar was organized by SEEP and delivered by ideas42, with the support of MetLife Foundation, as a part of the "Behavioral Approaches for Financial Product Design" webinar series.
