A Customer Experience For All Generations

We often see challenges as a new generation grows and begins to integrate itself into adulthood. It’s not news to anyone that the Millennial generation at large has struggled to integrate with older generations. With the rising trends and news stories of the war between the Baby Boomer generation and Millennials, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that institutions like banks must appeal to adults with a wide variance of expectations, preferences, and needs.

Tips to Improve Your Financial Well-Being

Financial well-being defines all the intricacies of your money management. It goes beyond your income and credit score. It’s about your relationship with money—how you behave with money and how you spend money. Regardless of how large your income, if you are spending everything you make you are not getting wealthier, just living a higher lifestyle.

CFPB Financial Well-Being Scale

Everyone’s financial situation is unique. We typically think of finances as credit scores, income, and net worth. However, analyzing financial well-being looks deeper by examining our relationship with money. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) defines financial well-being as “the state wherein an individual has a sense of control over day-to-day and month-to-month finances, capacity to absorb financial shock, being on track to meet financial goals, and the ability to make financial choices to enjoy life.”¹
