An AI follow-up interview digs into the real story behind a recent financial decision or stressful moment instead of settling for a scale score. Built for banks, fintechs, and researchers tracking consumer financial wellbeing.

That's everything — thank you for being so open about your finances. Your answers will be combined with others to help shape better financial products and support, and kept confidential throughout.

What’s included

  • AI follow-ups

    Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.

  • Attention checks

    Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.

  • AI-drafted copy

    Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.

  • Auto report

    Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.

How it compares

We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.

Why this template

  • Goes beyond satisfaction scales with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs one specific recent financial decision or stressful moment, capturing the real story instead of just a score
  • Combines quantitative structure (matrix of monthly financial behaviors, constant-sum budget allocation, product ranking, satisfaction and switching-likelihood scales) with qualitative depth in one flow
  • Covers the full picture banks and fintechs need — product usage, spending allocation, stress levels, provider satisfaction, and 12-month financial goals — alongside standard income/employment/age demographics
  • Transparent prompts and automated per-response quality scoring give researchers visibility into how the AI probed and how reliable each response is, with an auto-generated report at the end

QuestionPro

Consumer Finances Survey Questions Template

A dedicated, fielding-ready template covering consumer financial topics, built on QuestionPro's established survey platform. It offers pre-written questions and standard logic/branching but is a fixed questionnaire rather than a conversational or adaptive instrument. Best suited for teams wanting a quick, editable static survey rather than deeper narrative insight.

What it does well

  • Purpose-built financial survey template (not a generic consumer behavior form)
  • Backed by a mature survey platform with broad question-library and distribution tooling
  • Likely offers customizable question logic and reporting dashboards typical of QuestionPro

Where it falls short

  • Static question set with no adaptive AI follow-up to probe the reasoning behind a stressful financial moment
  • No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share task capability
  • No transparent, published prompt methodology or automated per-response quality scoring
