Financial Anxiety:Hispanics are more pragmatic spenders, and are more concerned about ‘job security’, ‘assisting family’ and ‘home ownership.’ Non-Hispanics worry more about ‘retiring comfortably’ and ‘high-interest rates.’The Spanish-dominant worry more about job security than do the Bilingual and English-dominant Hispanic.2. Trust in Financial Institutions:Hispanics are less trusting of their financial institutions and feel undervalued as customers compared to non-Hispanics.Hispanics have been with their banks for less time and start banking later in life than non-Hispanics.3. Limited Emphasis on Physical Bank Amenities Among Hispanics: In choosing a primary bank, Hispanics exhibit a reduced emphasis on certain physical bank amenities compared to non-Hispanics.Factors such as the presence of friendly tellers (and the bank’s local physical presence) hold less importance for Hispanics when making their banking decisions.4. Higher Adoption of Mobile Banking Among Hispanics:Hispanics exhibit a higher propensity for utilizing mobile banking services when compared to their non-Hispanic counterparts.Specifically, most Hispanics opt for online or mobile banking, more so than non-Hispanics.5. Diverse Use of Mobile Banking Functions:Hispanics are mobile banking power users.This preference encompasses activities such as checking account balances, making payments, verifying deposits, transferring funds to individuals, and conducting interbank account transfers.”Embrace the Collective: The Hispanic Financial Journey” has uncovered valuable data that will empower financial entities to engage with the Hispanic market more authentically and effectively.
