Preferences and demands across generations are changing. Older and younger consumers have different views about who’s responsible for ensuring that people don’t get into debt, how comfortable they are in sharing their financial data, and how important the environment is in decision-making.
After surveying over 7,000 consumer globally, we have identified key behavioural differences across generations:
- Debt Responsibility: Who should ensure people don't fall into debt?
- The Role of Data: How comfortable are they with sharing their personal information?
- Banks and Lenders: Supporting Financial Stability and Inclusion
The answers collected show a clear generational and cultural divide, that poses a unique challenge for banks and insurance companies in meeting the diverse customer needs today. On one hand, they must tailor their offer and ways of communication to involve younger customers while, on the other hand, they have to ensure their services remain accessible to older customers too.
In this dynamic environment, technology, agility, and responsiveness are crucial for financial providers.
