Galileo Financial Technologies, a SoFi Technologies company, released the Galileo Consumer Banking Report with Datos Insights. The report reveals that while 85% of consumers have positive experiences with their primary financial institution (FI), many are diversifying their financial services across various providers.

This trend is particularly pronounced among Gen Z and younger millennials, who use an average of six financial tools, with more than half from outside their primary FI. The study emphasizes the growing demand for digital-first, personalized, and autonomous services, highlighting that traditional FIs may lose valuable customers to digital competitors if they do not innovate.

Additionally, the report notes that 60% of consumers prefer DIY financial services, and 42% of younger millennials have used virtual assistants for financial tasks. Gig workers are identified as a unique demographic with specific needs that FIs are currently not fully addressing.
