Older bank customers are more comfortable banking in-person and will shun new digital innovations such as chatbots, according to a new study.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marketing research firm Foresight Research surveyed bank customers in Georgia and found that younger savers were much more willing to engage with digital tools driven by artificial intelligence (AI) such as chatbots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Among 400 consumers, nearly 85% said they were comfortable with asking banking questions or gathering advice on investments, loans, or retirement planning in-person. In contrast, 51% of consumers said they were comfortable with using AI or chatbots for routine questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interestingly, high-income consumers were more likely to use AI or chatbots because they had more need, particularly for advanced applications.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Generation X \u2013 defined as those born between 1965 and 1980 \u2013 and Baby Boomers \u2013 those born between 1946 and 1964 \u2013 were far more likely to be resistant to AI-powered chatbots compared to younger consumers.<\/p>\n

The resistance to AI chatbots coincides with fewer banks reporting the number of AI users that engage with their chatbots. Bank of America recently revealed that only 30% of its customers use ERICA, the bank\u2019s chatbot, despite it being in use for nearly four years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Higher customer satisfaction levels among banks could be the answer to automated banking adoption. Consumers who reported being extremely or very satisfied with their bank\u2019s performance in problem solving, digital banking, and financial advice were more likely to use routine AI and advanced AI applications.<\/p>\n

The resistance against chatbots from Generation X and Baby Boomers could be attributed to scepticism. A separate\u00a0recent report by Forrester has found<\/a>\u00a0that customers are sceptical of using chatbots when it came to money.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report stated that\u00a0\u201cmoney is one of the areas where consumers are quite cautious, meaning that sometimes uneven and imprecise experience of dealing with a bot will not be ideal\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite banks continuing to roll out\u00a0AI chatbots and various other digital products to attract customers,<\/a>\u00a0consumer adoption will take a great deal of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
