If Generation Z doesn’t matter already, it’s about to. Defined by the Pew Research Centre, a US think tank, as anyone born between 1997 and 2010, Gen-Z, as the demographic is known, is large and collectively powerful. It accounts for 35% of the world’s population, or three billion people, says San Francisco research firm Zebra IQ. But beyond the numbers, who are Gen-Zers and what do they want? Who do they listen to or ignore? What drives them? And what do they want from the corporate and financial institutions desperate to get their custom and secure their loyalty?

Panel II podcast - Gen Z: Preparing to engage the Greta Thunberg generation
PANEL II AGENDA
OUR EXPERTS DISCUSS:
- Are millennials old news? As the succeeding generation enters its 20s, is it time to start thinking about engaging the next demographic?
- Gen Z is said to be more money-conscious and financially literate than any previous generation. How will the needs of Gen Z private banking clients differ from millennials, and from older clients?
- The best wealth management providers like to offer classes, workshops and other initiatives for educating the next generation and promoting entrepreneurship and leadership. How do banks fare in their roles as educators? What is industry best practice?
- Studies show Gen Z to be increasingly visually driven, with a mobile-first mindset. Which digital technologies do banks need to adapt today to be ready to engage the clients of tomorrow?
- Millennials are said to be more focused on impact investing, ESG and philanthropy than older clients, will this trend continue with Gen Z?
Gen Z will be the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in history. Are banks well placed to react to this internally, ensuring their relationship managers come from diverse backgrounds?
