New report shows stark differences in between generations; suggests banks and payments providers need to do more to meet shifting expectations

From cards to receivables and all manners of digital payment services, younger generations have been critical in driving innovation and in turn creating new revenue streams for payment providers. In a new Impact Report, SMB Payments and Millennials: Millennials Expect More, research and advisory firm Aite-Novarica Group provides an overview of how millennial-run small and midsize businesses (SMBs) use payments within their organizations, what they expect from their providers, and where they see value in the latest generation of payment technologies.

“As Millennials continue to mature across businesses of all sizes, the trends seen now will become ubiquitous for the broader payments sector,” said Gilles Ubaghs, Strategic Advisor at Aite-Novarica Group. “Millennial-run SMBs are more willing to work with a variety of partners but are also more willing to pay more for a high-quality relationship. This presents opportunities for payment providers to both extend their relationships and generate new revenue streams.”

A preview of the report is available online, and desk copies are available to qualified media. Please contact [email protected] or call Kaitlyn Labbe at +1.857.327.9442 for more information.
