A South African payment platform wanted to talk to consumers in the UK who regularly send remittances to Africa and South Asia about the features that they expect and need from cash remittance platforms, as well as any frustrations they might face while using existing platforms.
We used our extensive panel to recruit over 50 well-suited candidates with connections to ten different African and Asian countries and screened in a final 12 participants using an online questionnaire created in house. As an extra quality check, we made follow-up phone calls to the respondents to establish their fluency in English and discuss their use of online remittance platforms. We then encouraged the 12 participants to participate actively in the online community which was held over a number of days via WhatsApp.
FieldworkHub has been a great research partner to me and my team. Caroline and Cornelius were incredibly proactive, helping us anticipate any issues that might come up and plan for how to handle them. Even though it did turn out to be a challenging project, things went smoothly because we were one step ahead. The team went above and beyond to help ensure our goals were met.
My team and I have had a great experience working with FieldworkHub. After struggling to find the participants we needed through other vendors for a tough recruit, we reached out to FieldworkHub and were really pleased with their thoughtful and proactive response. The team have been extremely supportive throughout. We’ll certainly be working with them again.
