Creative Execution

Using advanced emotion recognition technology, EmotionScan tracks and analyses your microexpressions through your webcam, as you’re faced with various money scenarios. Evocative sound effects, imagery and narration were carefully crafted to help you to visualise yourself in each scenario. Then, you’re presented with personalised results identifying the areas you may need to look at more closely. You could replay each scenario and explore the emotions you expressed second-by-second, and see a summary of the financial areas that made you most uncomfortable. If you feel like you want help, a one-to-one MoneyReview with the bank is just a click away.

EmotionScan has introduced a new approach to banking, where technology helps people learn more about themselves so they can be better with money. Over 200,000 people took part in an EmotionScan experience – that's 6% of New Zealand adults. And as a result, New Zealanders are now 15% more confident that BNZ is the bank to help them be good with money.

The Bank of New Zealand’s ambition is to help all New Zealanders be good with money. But to do that, we have to help people understand what’s holding them back. The bank wanted to reach a target of ‘Retail Affluent’ 25-49 year olds who are on their way up, technologically savvy and aspire to be smarter with their money. We wanted to talk to these people about ways they could improve financially, but the truth is that no one likes talking about their money problems. In fact the more uncomfortable they make us feel, the more we ignore them. So we created EmotionScan – a tool that lets people explore their own subconscious feelings about money, in private. And face up to the areas they need help with.
