102 Million Caregivers Find Banks Fail to Deliver

businesswire.com
JPM Chase is mentioned as the leader among large banks in serving financial caregivers, but the article also notes that most financial institutions, including large banks, are perceived as part of the problem by families. WFC Wells Fargo is ranked behind Chase but ahead of Bank of America in serving financial caregivers. However, it scored lowest among big banks with seniors, indicating a mixed performance. BAC Bank of America is mentioned as one of the large banks evaluated in the study concerning financial caregivers. Its specific performance ranking is not detailed, placing it in a neutral position.

SAN FRANCISCO--( BUSINESS WIRE)--True Link’s 2025 study of financial caregivers 1, released today, found striking insights for banks and credit unions:

“The opportunity here is large,” commented True Link CEO Kai Stinchcombe, “but you have to do a genuinely good job. Most financial institutions think they’re helping, but from the family’s perspective, they are actually part of the problem.”

Among large banks, Chase was the leader, ahead of Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Wells Fargo scored almost as highly as Chase with teens, but had the lowest score among the big banks with seniors. Superregionals and credit unions were rated lower than any of the three largest banks.

“We suspect that this is a challenge of investment in technology,” said the firm’s Chief Strategy Officer Kara Brewer. “Banks and credit unions often do care, but offer a cumbersome process and, especially with aging parents, lack the product-led solutions families need.”

Caregivers are the customers that leading FIs are already investing the majority of their strategic attention on – 30% more likely to be mass affluent, 55% more likely to have a mortgage, 70% higher income, and 200% more likely to be a small business owner. With the willingness to consolidate business and add products, becoming a top performer for caregivers is an incredible business opportunity. This is particularly true for superregionals and credit unions, and especially true for aging parents or adults with disabilities – a larger market, less well served today, and with greater net worth to win.
