Credit Cards Can Help Engage Customers
A new report from Elan Credit Card and PYMNTS Intelligence surveyed consumers to learn preferences on general-purpose versus co-branded and store credit cards, drivers that impact consumer choice, and trends by demographic.
Results show that almost 77% of consumers own a credit card and when asked why consumers selected their preferred credit card type, “trust in the financial institution that issued the card” ranked as a top reason for general-purpose cards.
So, why does this matter for community and regional banks? Your customers already trust you. Offering a strong credit card program is an opportunity to meet customer needs and build deeper relationships.
Sixty-eight percent of respondents hold a general-use credit card and key age cohorts like Gen Z, millennials, and bridge millennials favor general-use cards. This indicates how critical it is to offer credit cards to match customers across all generations and the credit score spectrum.
