COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Thursday, October 17 is "Get Smart About Credit Day" and Experian is joining the American Bankers Association to provide young adults with financial education – continuing Experian's on-going commitment to helping consumers better understand and access credit. Millennials and Generation Z are poised to make or break the consumer confidence index in the next few decades and have been labeled slackers, praised as multi-tasking wizards, credited with driving the digital economy and branded "Children of the Great Recession."
Both groups also have a strong drive to be financially successful. Recent Experian surveys suggest that Gen Zers and millennials are very interested in their financial health:
Not surprisingly, digital tools are important to young adults, with 62% of Gen Zers preferring to check finances using their smartphone.2
"I get the opportunity to talk to a variety of students and young adults," said Rod Griffin, Experian Director of Consumer Education, "and I don't think the negative stereotypes stick. They watched the financial crisis firsthand in their early years, and they really don't want to repeat what their parents went through. They are very interested in learning as much as they can about money, finance and credit and they want to use technology to manage their financial lives. That was a big consideration for Experian's launch of Experian Boost earlier this year – these age groups will benefit the most from it."
Experian Boost allows – for the first time – anyone to add utility or telecom information to their Experian credit report, increasing the number of positive payment histories associated with their report and possibly increasing their FICO Score 8 in real time. Young adults, who may not have much credit history, may benefit the most from using Experian Boost. For more information and to try Experian Boost, visit https://www.experian.com/boost.
Facebook Live: Boosting Your Financial Health
As part of Get Smart About Credit Day, Griffin and Jeni Pastier, Director of Financial Education Programs for the American Bankers Association, will participate in a Facebook Live broadcast October 15 at 2 p.m. CT. The presentation will address credit topics young adults typically don't understand or don't know about at all.
"As the old saying goes, you don't know what you don't know," said Griffin. "We have a chance to give younger generations the information and tools to know more than previous generations did at their ages."
Tips for Those New to Credit
Griffin has some standard tips for those new to credit:
"Digital is the future," added Griffin. "Credit reports don't look like they did 10 years ago, let alone when I was in high school. Hand a Gen Zer or a Millennial a piece of paper with their credit report and they won't like it. Show them an app and they will figure out credit reports, scores and how to manage their finances faster than Gen Xers or Boomers ever did."
