Safeguarding the financial lives of older people

The aim of this market research survey is to understand your thoughts, attitudes and usual practice regarding your loved one's personal finances.

At Kalgera, we are building ‘fintech for good’ with a particular focus on supporting older people to lead healthy financial lives. We want to keep vulnerable people and their caregivers at the heart of our technology development process, so we’re creating a new User Panel that we’d love you to join (more at the end of the survey).  

*Throughout the survey, assume the broadest definition of caregiver. If you help your loved one in any way be that by checking in by phone / in person, picking up groceries or helping manage their money, this is seen as care. 
*Completion and submission of this survey is understood to be consent to participation.
