Your Gen Z Strategy Is Broken

from Banking Transformed with Jim Marous · host Evergreen Podcasts

Your Gen Z strategy is putting your organization’s growth at risk. New research from Primax, shows that only 12 percent of Gen Z consider a community or regional bank their primary financial institution. Will these Gen Z consumers move their parents' relationship out of your institution? By 2035, Gen Z will be the largest and wealthiest generation in history. And 72 percent say they face financial challenges unlike those of any other generation. They're seeking a financial partner who understands their reality far beyond a simple transaction. The bottom line is that customer loyalty is thin, opening accounts at new institutions is easy, and growth is no longer guaranteed. Today on Banking Transformed, I'm joined by Carrie Stapp, Vice President of Marketing at Primax. We're unpacking what the Banking in Focus research report reveals about what's broken in how banks approach Gen Z – and what you need to fix now before future growth moves elsewhere.
