With a potential recession ahead, customers at varying points of their financial journeys are all feeling the impact of inflation and higher prices. Consumer debt is also rising. According to a recent article in The Financial Brand, credit card debt was up 13% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year — the largest year-over-year increase seen in two decades. For the first time in the history of the Financial Health Network’s Pulse research, financial health has decreased over the last year. In fact, the report states, “Greater financial health declines appear to be on the horizon as inflation shows no signs of letting up, debt levels rise, and loan delinquencies grow.”
As consumers face greater financial challenges than ever before, they need support from their employers and financial institutions to improve their financial health.
