Data & insights drive success in capitalizing on lifestyle changes.

Traditionally, Canadians have shown a preference for sticking with the bank they’ve used forever. However, analysts have recently reported on a trend in banking that indicates consumers are now more likely to consider switching.

A 2021 survey conducted by Statista reports that nearly 20% of Canadians are likely to switch banks in the near future, and the number is growing within younger generations.

When it comes to banking, switching is often triggered by a major lifestyle change like having a baby, retiring, buying a new car, or moving homes. Identifying and reaching Canadian consumers in that moment of consideration represents opportunity for Canada’s banks. 

In any case, banks know a great deal about their customers’ financial behaviour. Trigger events can often be teased out of the transactions. Other triggers begin externally. Listing a home for sale would be a strong indication that a customer or prospect may be in the market for a mortgage or home insurance.
