Finance Redefined

Financial institutions break free of tradition to reach younger consumers

Pulling inspiration from open concept offices, mobile-friendly retail spaces and even incorporating events on-site, banks are tapping into aesthetics and lifestyle needs that are much more approachable to younger clientele like Millennials. This shift away from tradition speaks to the growing need to not only attract diversified consumers, but also a need to redefine how legacy or long-standing brands are perceived.
