What's the latest buzz about Gen Z credit cardholders? Our CRO, Brian Muse-McKenney, is making waves in NerdWallet's latest article on how Gen Z is revolutionizing credit card usage. Brian shares expert insights highlighting the evolving landscape of credit card usage among younger consumers, emphasizing the importance of digital-first solutions and innovative financial tools. Key takeaways: 🔹 Digital-first preferences: Gen Z is embracing this technology, some members more boldly than others — 10.3% "rarely or never" carry a physical wallet at all when leaving the house. 🔹Role of social media: 68% of Gen Z consumers searched for products on social media, and 22% ended up buying something they found this way. 🔹Credit cards with 'training wheels': New products aim to make credit-building simple. Some evaluate income, cash flow, and credit scores to extend credit to those without access, while others link to a funding account, limiting spending. 🔹BNPL continues to thrive: Younger adults are newer to establishing credit, so a payment plan that’s fast, convenient, and not reliant on a long credit history can be appealing.
