Today at a Glance:- US Deposits Competitive Intelligence Trends for 2025- US Deposits Predictions for 2025- Welcoming & Onboarding for Financial Services in 2025- Financial Profiles: Q4 2024- Financial Services Weekly Digest I’m noticing an interesting bifurcation in our marketing strategies. Credit Card marketing is almost exclusively premium credit cards, or extremely rich cash cards targeted to the SuperPrime consumer. As FIs have become notably cautious about extending credit to the broader consumer base, instead steering marketing efforts towards stable, low-risk deposit products.This market bifurcation underscores a strategic truth forfinancial executives: Success in the coming year requires laser-focused product positioning. Premium credit offerings must clearly convey exclusivity, rewards, and aspirational lifestyles to the super prime segment, while deposit products should emphasize transparency, education, and simplicity to build trust with the mass market. Rather than trying to bridge these distinct consumer bases through generic messaging, institutions should deliberately cultivatedifferentiated marketing strategies, tailored precisely to the unique economic realities and consumer expectations within each segment.
