Compass Plus – Know your audience: why age matters in banking

Share this post

The banking industry is saturated with buzz words and all banks need to be seen to be advocates of these words, whether it’s open banking and PSD2, or agile work environments, or CX and UX, or catering for millennials. But is this hype reaching your target audience?

We all know age is hugely important in terms of customer behaviour, but do you know the average age of your customer? Across North America, the average age is 35, and actually this differs significantly within the region (42.2 in Canada, 28.1 in the US and 28.3 in Mexico). In Central America, age averages out at 22.4, rising to 31 in South America. In Europe it increases to 42, whilst in Africa it is merely 18, with Asia Pacific and the Middle East averaging in the early 30s. There are also massive differences within these regions country-to-country, from 31 in China to 47.3 in Japan, and again from 31 in the UAE to 18.8 in Afghanistan.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
