Chart of the day: Almost 2 in 5 Gen Z S’poreans have a digital bank account

Older Singaporeans are less likely to have a digital bank account.

This chart from Finder shows that Gen Z Singaporeans are the most likely to have a digital bank account, with 39% saying they have an active service.

The chart also shows that the older one is, the less likely it is to engage in digital banking, with only two in 10 middle-aged Singaporeans (45 to 54 years old) having a digital bank account. This means that most Singaporeans still prefer to bank traditionally.

However, the total of respondents that have a digital bank account totalled 21%, an increase of three percentage points from last year. An additional 9% plan to open one in the next year, bringing the percentage of Singaporeans with a digital bank account to 30%. That figure is expected to jump even higher to 35% by the end of 2027.

Meanwhile, most senior citizens don’t have a digital bank account with only 7% saying that they do.

Singapore ranks fourth in the top countries with adults that have a digital-only bank account.

Digital banking

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
