Report Overview

Harness the trend behind the growth in consumers who move money with the latest Hearts & Wallets Insight Module, Money Movement: Insights to Outsmart the Competition as New Accounts are on the Rise. Money Movement is drawn from the latest fielding of the Hearts & Wallets Investor Quantitative™ Database, recognized as the largest single dataset on U.S. retail consumer attitudes, behaviors and buying patterns with over 40,000 U.S. households. 

Go beyond proprietary firm data with Hearts & Wallets’ multidimensional view for greater visibility into transaction dynamics to hone in on household transactions for new and existing relationships. Know the competitive field -- from the growth of new accounts with new deposits to the competitive advantage banks currently have over brokerage firms in attracting new deposits.

Select Key Findings

  • Money movement transactions – including rollover, transfer, new account or cashout – are up, fueled by younger consumers and the mass market (<$100,000).  
  • Half of consumers tried a new relationship. Citibank and E*Trade achieved high trial. 
  • New deposits are funding New Accounts, up +15ppts vs 2015. Households taking this action are more likely than the average HH to have experienced a job change or loss. 
  • Success recipes for money movement differ by competitor. 

How This Report Helps

Marketing, product and advice/digital design professionals will benefit from the actionable data and insights in this report to: 

  • Identify groups driving transaction increases, especially younger consumers as they develop brand loyalty and consumers in the mass market with high-earning potential. 
  • Glean unique transaction insights into motivating factors to develop campaigns around consumer drivers not normally visible to firms. 
  • Respond to consumer desire for different levels of control, advice and pricing.
