The Critical Window: Invest in Young Adult Financial Education
Most young adults enter adulthood unprepared for their biggest financial decisions. Only 20% receive financial education before age 25, right when they’re choosing credit cards, managing student loans, and shaping spending habits that last decades.
Financial institutions that guide them early build lifelong relationships. Those that don’t risk losing an entire generation to fintechs and digital competitors already meeting young adults where they are – online, interactive, and on their own terms.
Why timing matters:
- 62% of Gen Z rely on “finfluencers” for financial advice.
- Adults keep the same checking account for an average of 17 years.
- Early education reduces risk, boosts loyalty, and drives product adoption.
