Methodology:
The data included in the YouGov Bank and Payment Systems Consideration Rankings report 2022 has been drawn from YouGov BrandIndex. For the brand ranking, brands were ranked based on their ‘consideration’ score. In this metric people are asked, “when you are in the market next to make a purchase, which brands would you consider?” Brands were ranked by this consideration score between October 1, 2021, and September 30, 2022. To determine the biggest improvers, brands were sorted by change in score between that time and the previous twelve months. All scores listed have been rounded to a single decimal place; however, we have used additional precision to assign ranks. All brands must have been tracked for at least six months to be included in either ranking.
