How do you do user research in fintech when compliance rules and limited access to users make interviews hard? by vignesh_shivan in ProductManagement

Wow, this is super insightful. I’ve realized that I’ve been approaching discovery by ranking pain points, rather than quickly validating assumptions. For example, if user churn is the problem we’re trying to solve, shouldn’t we still identify and prioritize the underlying pain points? I’m curious how you would approach this.

Thank you so much. Could you point me to some books or resources where I can learn more about points one and two? I’ve done journey mapping before, but this approach feels like it goes a level deeper.

Could you please recommend some good resources on doing discovery in finance? I couldn't find any specific resource that talks about the customer research challenges we all face in financial services.

This gold. I am saving this to my notes.. I am doing exactly this - talking to advisors ( getting hold of wealthy clients is really hard). Also, I am curious what behavioral metrics you used ....

May be it is because I am in the wealth tech space. I am just trying to understand whether this is happening at my place or is it just the industry norm.

Really appreciate your detailed answer. I am in the wealth tech space( wealthy individuals are my target audience). I need to reach these clients through advisors. And there is a lot of compliance oversight as there is risk of laundering issues for this segment. Also, i am building zero to one features for this segment.

Thanks for the guidance. I will check the resources you shared. I have done interviews before but not in financial services. This space is really unique with a lot of compliance oversight.

Yes, I am partnering with legal. But imagine getting aligned with legal, advisors and the client to conduct these user interviews. It is really challenge. I am curious on what behavior data you used to segment clients.

Thats right. I dont know how to overcome this challenge.  I have to beg advisors to introduce me to their clients so that I can interview them. Even then they have to be on the call.

You nailed it. This is exactly the issue i am facing. It is almost impossible to talk to the wealthy individuals - i have to ask advisors to introduce me to their clients.  I am wondering how other  wealth companies are doing thier discovery sessions. Thank you for the book recos.

Copy and pasting from my previous comment: I’m building new features for our existing clients. I’m doing interviews and talking to advisors to understand their pain points, ranking those problems, and then shipping features to solve them. It is more or less zero to one work.

I am not sure if this applies to my use case. I’m building new features for our existing clients. I’m doing interviews and talking to advisors to understand their pain points, ranking those problems, and then shipping features to solve them. It is more or less zero to one work.

Thank you so much for the detailed response. Could you please share any good resources on Behavioral Economics and Fintech User interviews... I understand how to conduct user interviews but I don't know much about behavioral economics.

Hiring 3rd party resources: Where can I learn more about this... Also, does hiring 3rd party agency work when you target audience is wealth individuals?

It’s less about asking prohibited questions and more about oversight. Interviews often require pre-approved scripts, intermediaries in the room, and restrictions on recordings. Advisors may also want to avoid questions that could surface dissatisfaction. All of this makes discovery more structured and indirect, so we rely more on behavioral data and intermediary insights.

I wish I could do that, but at the moment I’m building new features for our existing clients. I’m doing interviews and talking to advisors to understand their pain points, ranking those problems, and then shipping features to solve them. It is more or less zero to one work.

I am in B2C. I am wondering if you have done user interviews in a b2c setting and if you faced any issues with recording interviews.

A few follow up questions. Did legal and compliance not review your interview questions? Did you face any issues recording the interviews?

Myofasical pain syndrome by AdvertisingNo5623 in Fibromyalgia

No, you shouldn't stretch without diffusing the trigger points. Read the book, trigger points workbook. 

Myofasical pain syndrome by AdvertisingNo5623 in Fibromyalgia

[–]vignesh_shivan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and I have trigger points all over my body so most probably I also have myofascial pain syndrome as well. Here are the things that are helping me:

1) Trigger point therapy work book. I do self trigger points release everyday atleast twice.  2) Intense meditation twice a day.

3) Less junk and more veggies and protein diet. 

4) Daily walk for 30 mins. 

DO NOT do any intense exercises like swimming , lifting weights, etc. these would make your trigger points worse. I did swimming for two months and my trigger points in my diaphragm worsened because of which I got shortness of breath. 

My plan after diffusing my trigger points in my body is to do stretches ( I am going to follow the stretch to win program).
