Special update report on “The Consumer Money Mindset in the Time of COVID-19” shows continuing impact of pandemic on consumers’ financial lives

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 11, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Logica Research, a custom marketing research company for financial services and technology companies, has released a special Future of Money update report. "The Consumer Money Mindset in the Time of COVID-19: Summer 2020 Edition" delves further into the changes COVID-19 is causing on American’s financial lives and is designed to help financial brands and institutions better understand and serve their customers.

"We conducted this research on the future of money and the impact of COVID-19 so financial brands have the current information they need to stay on top of ever-changing consumer expectations and emotions during this ongoing pandemic," said Lilah Raynor, founder and CEO of Logica Research. "COVID-19 continues to deeply affect Americans, their finances and the global economy, and we know financial brands must meet them where they are with desired communications, adjusted products and empathy. The findings in this latest wave will help facilitate shifts to maintain these connections."

The updated study continues to show work, payments, finances and brand expectations disrupted by the coronavirus. Key findings in this wave include:
-Fifty-seven (57%) percent of Americans report that they received a CARES Act stimulus check, with 55% spending the received monies, 48% saving, 7% investing.
-Similar to the Spring 2020 wave of this study, 67% of Americans report being stressed about their financial situation, with more women (70%) than men (62%) reporting increased stress.
-Slightly more people now report preparing for a recession (33% current, 31% spring 2020), with preparation activities including setting aside money (76%), eliminating expenses (46%), and picking up additional work (26%).
-In terms of how financial institutions can help, 62% of Americans would like to see assistance with their “wallet” with activities like fee elimination and payment deferral. Forty-three percent would like more service and advice from financial brands, and 17% would like more communication.

The newest insights in this special Logica Future of Money report are based on data collected from a nationally representative group of 1,000 American adults balanced on gender, income and generation. An additional 200 older Gen Zers (age 16-23) were also included for generational comparisons. Qualitative insights were provided by partner KNow Research. First fielded from April 8-14, this update was conducted July 8-14, and the results illustrate how people have continued to change their approach to making, spending, saving and investing money.
