Enabling research

We provide socioeconomic researchers with access to research-ready, curated datasets and de-identified, granular, near real-time private sector financial data, securely housed in our Trusted Research Environment (TRE).

Our data helps academic researchers address complex issues, including the root causes of poverty and inequality, by delivering data-driven insights that advance understanding and inform actionable solutions. Through collaborative partnerships, we empower academics to produce impactful research that drives meaningful, real-world change.

Actionable insights

We offer real-time financial data insights designed to enhance policy and intervention decisions, helping to reduce poverty, address inequality, and improve economic wellbeing. These insights can complement existing data sources or be integrated alongside them for a more comprehensive view.

Available in various formats - including dashboards, analytics, reports, and APIs - our insights uncover disparities and inform the development and delivery of effective services. By empowering decision-makers, we help tackle complex socioeconomic challenges with greater precision and impact.
