This report uses data from the U.S. FinancialHealth Pulse®, a groundbreaking research initiative designed to shed light on the financial lives of Americans. Using a combination of consumer surveys and transactional data, The Pulse provides a regularly refreshed snapshot of the country’s financial health.
The U.S. Financial Health Pulse is made possible through a founding partnership with Flourish, a venture of The Omidyar Group. Additional support is provided by MetLife Foundation, founding sponsor of the Financial Health Network’s financial health work, and AARP.
The Financial Health Network is partnering with the University of Southern California Dornsife College’s Center for Economic and Social Research to field the study to their online panel, the Understanding America Study.
The Financial Health Network is working with engineers and data analysts at Plaid to collect and analyze transactional and account data from study participants who authorize it.
