Banking Propositions for Young/New Families
Consumers at the early stages of family life are notably focused on saving to buy a house. Expectant families also prefer to save for the future over living well in the present. Supporting these goals with high-rate savings accounts and investment opportunities will help banks strengthen relationships with young families.
As with the birth of the first child, consumers about to marry or just married have a deeper focus on saving to buy a house. Newlyweds are much more likely to seek help from their main bank to achieve this goal.

Banking Propositions – Family Separation
Families with children who have just moved out are more oriented toward debt repayment than asset accumulation. Such customers are more likely to turn to their main bank for assistance than other consumers also focused on this goal.
Consumers preparing for separation become more focused on debt repayment as well. This is because living costs are higher on average for single parents/separated families (separate rent/mortgage payments, etc.), increasing the debt burden on consumers.

Banking Propositions – Retirement
Even though saving for later age is a common goal throughout life, the need to save for retirement increases as consumers come to the end of their careers. Asset accumulation and the highest return possible (over ESG considerations) are more important than average for these consumers. There is a challenge for banks to illustrate strength in advisory services before retirement comes into view to earn more of this business at this stage.
Post-retirement consumers become more attuned to living well, with an increase in the goal of saving for a holiday or travel around this point. They also get a chance to turn more actively to estate/inheritance planning.
