Payment Habits by Sun Sign
October 16, 2007
As a press release, APACS, takes light-hearted look at consumer payment habits by star sign.
New online guide reveals:
-Capricorns are the most financially astute
-Scorpios are the sign of the debit card
-Taureans are fairly meticulous in their financial management
The guide, based on research among 2,000 UK consumers, shows interesting trends that distinguish the payment behaviour of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
Aries - financially consistent
Ariens are reasonably consistent when it comes to financial management. They do let themselves down when it comes to checking their bank and credit card statements, and should try to check them more thoroughly to spot anything unusual.
Taurus - financially thorough
Taureans are fairly meticulous in their financial management, demonstrating solid and consistent organisational skills. However, they are let down by their shredding laziness.
Gemini - least financially organised star sign
Geminis fall below the mark when it comes to financial management, not quite hitting the spot when it comes to organising their bank and credit card statements.
Cancer - chequebook-loving
Cancerians adore their chequebooks, rejecting cash for this form of payment. They demonstrate a strong tendency to check their bank or credit card statements regularly, but are not so good at paying their monthly bills in full.
Leo - poor PIN managers
Leos are at the bottom of the pile when it comes to managing the PINs for their plastic cards. They should try to use different numbers for their cards.
Virgo - online-lovers
Virgos love to inspect their statements at least once a month, particularly online. They have a hoarding preference and shy away from shredding their financial documents.
Libra - financially slowest star sign
Librans demonstrate a distinct lack of interest and attention to detail when it comes to their financial management. They are slow to check their statements, and when they do get round to it, they are less likely to check the detail.
Scorpio - debit card-lovers
Scorpios are the sign of the debit card, displaying a strong preference for this form of payment. They are financially savvy and diligent and are particularly inventive with their cards!
Sagittarius - responsible yet financially disorganised
Sagittarians are not the most financially organised star sign, yet they are responsible when it comes to paying off their credit card bills and checking their statements.
Capricorn - financially astute
Financially responsible in most areas, Capricorns are the most financially astute when it comes to managing their finances. However, they let themselves down when it comes to paying their credit card bills.
Aquarius - keen cash and credit card users
Aquarians are keen cash and credit card users but need to improve the management of their statements.
Pisces - financially responsible
Pisceans are financially responsible, with the majority paying off their monthly credit card bill in full and demonstrating particular diligence when it comes to the management of their statements.
