Why East

  • Unbiased voice of the customer

    We ensure unbiased and confidential dialogue with the customer, with response rates over 85%, and high quality, engaged interviewee participation by entering strict non-disclosure agreements when and where interviewees request it. We have never given incentives for businesses to participate in our research and have never needed to.

  • Bullet proof primary fieldwork

    We conduct all 76,800+ direct annual interviews and fieldwork with decision-makers responsible for their business’ banking relationships to ensure the intelligence we collect is accurate and verifiable.

  • Natural, high-quality sampling

    We provide intelligence into our clients’ market. We go to extensive lengths to guarantee our insights can be referenced to the population at large, using central census data to map our sample against; we do not ask clients for customer lists given the risk of bias this method carries.

  • Continuous client relationships

    We place great importance on our relationships with our clients and the insights and success our collaboration brings to your organisation, in the long term.
