Examples include fraudulently opening credit cards in their victim\u2019s name, withdrawing cash from joint accounts without their consent, using real-time transaction notifications to stalk them, and sending unwanted or abusive messages via online payment descriptions.<\/p><p>Financial service providers are starting to take notice and are implementing initiatives to tackle economic abuse. However, these initiatives, although welcome, are mostly reactive, focusing on minimising harm after abuse has already occurred.<\/p><p>In this project, we take a proactive stand against economic abuse by identifying and proposing ways of radically reconfiguring the banking features that abusers use to their advantage, and by envisioning new functionality that can prevent abusive behaviour. We are looking to end economic abuse and prevent people misusing financial products. In close collaboration with banking professionals and under the design leadership of victim-survivors, the project uses participatory design methods to revisit how banking services and technologies are designed, and will produce a key set of recommendations for designing out economic abuse from banking products.<\/p><h3>Full project title<\/h3><p>Designing Out Economic Abuse in the UK Banking Industry: A Participatory Design Project with Victim-Survivors and Banking Professionals<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f168997 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f168997\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-user-edit\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf46656 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cf46656\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Project team<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a1ec0a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a1ec0a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northumbria.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-staff\/w\/clare-wiper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Dr Clare Wiper (Northumbria University)<\/span><\/a> &#8211; Principal Investigator<\/li><li><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.citystgeorges.ac.uk\/about\/people\/academics\/belen-barros-pena\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr Belen Barros-Pena (City University of London)<\/a> &#8211; Co-investigator<\/span><\/li><li><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">Kathryn Royal <a href=\"https:\/\/survivingeconomicabuse.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Surviving Economic Abuse)<\/a><\/span> &#8211; Research Assistant<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0a4fed elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"f0a4fed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-055c446 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"055c446\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Project highlights<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b7a8cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7b7a8cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>UKFin+ Research Showcase on Financial Inclusion<\/h3><p>(Manchester, November 2024)<\/p><p>This was a cross-disciplinary event led by the UKFin+ Network.

The research team designed a set of cards that participants combined to create new interventions, and a set of safety design principles that participants could use to safety-check their ideas. We plan to create a toolkit in 2026 outlining the participatory design process, the cards and principles so that different research teams and organisations can use the materials.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dd382e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8dd382e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Co-Designing Interventions to Prevent Economic Abuse\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NzYxNywidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL2hvc3Rpbmcubm9ydGh1bWJyaWEuYWMudWtcL2tub3dsZWRnZS1leGNoYW5nZVwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNVwvMDZcL0Rlc2lnbmluZy1vdXQtZWNvbm9taWMtYWJ1c2UtaW4tdGhlLVVLLWJhbmtpbmctaW5kdXN0cnktSU1BR0UtNS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7617\" alt=\"Co-Designing Interventions to Prevent Economic Abuse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hosting.northumbria.ac.uk\/knowledge-exchange\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Designing-out-economic-abuse-in-the-UK-banking-industry-IMAGE-5.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Co-Designing Interventions to Prevent Economic Abuse<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46b860f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46b860f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Design Prioritisation Session<\/h3><p>(June 2025)<\/p><p>Victim-survivors voted on which interventions they would most like to see taken up by the financial services sector.
