VIDEO: Financial Services Intelligence Update — May 2024

With a remarkable surge in the use of P2P transfers, the May edition of the Financial Services Intelligence Update dives into JD Power’s newest research – the JD Power U.S. P2P Transfers Satisfaction Study. Over half of U.S. consumers have embraced P2P transfers, with a 10% rise in usage since Q3 2023.

In this video, Miles Tullo invites Sean Gelles, Senior Director of Payment Intelligence, to shed light on what matters most to customers when it comes to building loyalty and authority in the P2P landscape, as well as surprising brand performance observations on Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and Zelle.

Here’s a rundown of the top moments showcased in the video.

Driving Factors of P2P Transfers Satisfaction

Maintaining customer satisfaction is paramount in deterring defection to new digital payment platforms. The key factors driving satisfaction with P2P transfers, ranked by importance, include:

  • Account management through mobile apps
  • Ease of money transfer
  • Account linkage
  • Security of funds and personal data
  • Ease of receiving funds
  • Customization of user experience

Brands excelling in these areas are reaping the rewards of exceptional customer loyalty. Only 8% of P2P users say they “definitely will” or “probably will” switch the brand they use for sending money in the next year.
