Consumer Payment Prioritization Shifts During the Pandemic

Abstract:

In 2020, we grappled with economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic within a drastically changing world. Widespread unemployment and business closures influenced consumers’ credit health and ability to meet loan obligations; the government responding with financial hardship programs. As well, shelter-in-place orders prohibited in-person transactions, forcing lenders to move customer engagement and lending strategies to digital channels almost overnight.

These trends shifted how consumers prioritize payment obligations — some temporarily, some longer-term. As lenders recover, identifying and addressing these shifts will be critical to effectively managing portfolios.

In this session, we’ll share insights from our recent study into the consumer payment hierarchy prior to and during the pandemic. We’ll reveal consumer payment decisions since our last update and how they’ve changed throughout the crisis. Through direct consumer survey results, we’ll also offer a deep-dive into different payment prioritization dynamics based on the financial products in consumer wallets, as well as their payment decision-making process.
