New Market Research Reveals Digital Banking Has Become the Relationship Layer for Every Generation
A new study by Alkami Technology in partnership with Jason Dorsey and The Center for Generational Kinetics reveals that digital banking is now a critical factor influencing customer loyalty across all generations. Nearly one-third of consumers have switched providers due to poor digital experiences, highlighting the importance of tailored digital engagement strategies. The research identifies distinct preferences among Generation Z, Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers in terms of financial priorities and technology expectations. For example, Gen Z values clarity and education while Millennials are more open to AI-driven services. Regional and community banks face a challenge as they lag behind larger institutions in relevance and personalization. The report suggests that financial institutions leveraging generational insights combined with account-level data can better anticipate customer needs and build stronger relationships through what Alkami calls 'Anticipatory Banking.' This approach is seen as essential for competing against megabanks, fintechs, and AI-enhanced experiences.
