Financial services and trading

Markets move fast. A new product, a sharp market move, or a competitor offer can change trader confidence overnight. Client systems alone rarely show who is active, who stopped, and who needs more support. Sentink helps brokerages, banks, wealth teams, and fintechs in the UAE and GCC ask clients and investors in Arabic and English, understand their views quickly, and turn answers into clear reports and dashboards for management.

Where this work usually breaks

If these sound familiar, you are in the right place.

  • Results arrive too lateA big market event hits Monday. Traditional research takes two weeks. By the time numbers arrive, opinions have already moved on.
  • Client labels are not enoughKnowing someone is “active” or “dormant” does not explain much. You still need to know: Are they confident? Are they worried about risk? Why did they stop trading?
  • Products launch on guessworkNew products, fees, or promotions go live without asking the right people first—so budgets get spent on things clients may not want.
  • Why clients leave stays unclearHard signup, low trust, or app problems show up as bad ratings or sudden silence. Without a clear survey, teams fix symptoms instead of the real issue.

End-to-end on one platform

From brief to decision—including buy respondents when your lists cannot fill.

  2. Write the survey in Arabic and EnglishPrepare both languages together, with questions on trading activity, account size, and products used.
  3. Send to clients or buy a sampleInvite your clients, or buy a trader/investor sample in the UAE and GCC when you need faster results.
  4. Clean the data and split segmentsCheck response quality, then group results: active traders, new investors, dormant clients, and high-value clients.
  5. See opinions and reasonsReview tables and comments: Where did confidence rise? Where did it fall? What is really frustrating clients?

Know market opinion when things move

Volatility and major news change investor views faster than quarterly studies. Pair ongoing client surveys with a quick sample after big events so leaders see the shift while they can still act.

  • Surveys before and after an event for comparison
  • Questions on confidence and risk comfort, plus open comments
  • UAE and GCC fieldwork with a clear Arabic experience

Segments based on real behavior

Do not rely only on system labels. Understand who trades often, who just started, who stopped, and who matters most—so education, offers, and support reach the right person.

  • Choose the right segment before fieldwork starts
  • Understand why a client stopped and how to bring them back
  • Learn what high-value clients need most

Test before you launch

Before spending budget on a new product, feature, or offer, ask the people who would use it. That way you learn what works before launch—not after.

  • Test ideas and pricing with traders and investors
  • Get feedback on education and signup steps before full rollout
  • Check promotions and fees for impact on client retention

From answers to a clear decision

A survey only helps if management can use the results quickly. Sentink turns answers into clear dashboards and reports—with a private setup option when you need more control.

  • Summaries and reports in Arabic and English
  • Connect results to your client and reporting tools
  • Private setup when you need stronger privacy
