Financial Services Industry in the US – Current Overview
Projected demand for every type of financial product increased from last year, as consumers are no longer attempting to wait out inflation and more actively re-strategizing towards a new economic environment. The US financial services market has seen a particular focus on spend-based products like credit cards and buy now, pay later financing.
US Financial Services Consumer Trends
For institutions in the US financial services industry, rising demand provides a clear acquisition opportunity as consumers feel the need to expand their array of products. Institutions with existing customer relationships will have an inherent advantage due to the sustained preference for bundling and a rising focus on non-quantitative upgrades in features like digital experiences and customer service. Despite the ample marketing opportunity that accompanies rising demand, some troubling trends in household debt suggest the potential for choppy waters ahead.

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Sr. Marketing Manager, CE, Amazon
We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.
It’s mostly me who uses them but if I know someone is working on something specific I will share the relevant reports.
As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.
Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink
Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.
It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.
Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom
“Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.”
Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave
“We also use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.”
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, Wunderman Thompson
