Gen Z and the Future of Finance

At least four million members of Gen Z will open bank accounts each year between now and 2026.

That’s more than 12 million new customers in just the next three years. Gen Z’s demand for banking experiences that are both high-tech and high-touch, paired with their cultural influence, will transform financial services.

But is your financial institution ready for them?

Making up about 20% of the U.S. population – and nearly 30% of the workforce – Gen Z is already showing an outsize influence on the banking sector.

While Millennials and Boomers each make up a larger proportion of the population, Gen Z’s challenge of the status quo is driving change across all consumer segments.
