Fiserv
The latest Expectations & Experiences consumer trends survey from Fiserv, Inc., a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, reveals how people are adjusting their financial behaviors and preferences during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many consumers who have made changes to their payment habits anticipate the changes will be permanent, with initial indications bearing this out.
One of the longest running surveys of its kind, Expectations & Experiences builds on years of consumer survey data to provide insight into consumer financial behaviors and attitudes. The latest survey was conducted by The Harris Poll among more than 3,000 consumers in August and September 2020. Several findings were compared to those from a May 2020 survey.

“How people spend, move and manage money is changing with our changing times and for many, those shifts will be permanent,” said Matt Wilcox, president, Digital Payments and Data Aggregation at Fiserv. “In a post-pandemic world, financial organizations and retailers will need a strong digital presence and the tools, resources and guidance to help people navigate new financial realities.”
