Generational Differences in Using Digital Financial or Fintech Services

The financial world has witnessed many transformations largely triggered by rapid technological advancements. The intersection between finance and technology has given birth to a dynamic field that we commonly know as Financial Technology or Fintech. Fintech is changing the way individuals and businesses interact with their finances. In the first half of 2023, Jakpat conducted a survey of 1425 respondents in Indonesia regarding the use and habits of respondents in the financial and fintech landscape. The survey, which was later published in the form of a report entitled “Indonesia Fintech Trends 2023″, focuses on several digital financial services such as digital payments, online credit, and investment platforms. In addition, the survey also explored respondents’ financial behavior, insurance, and credit practices.

The Use of Digital Financial Services

In semester 1 of this year, there were 8 out of 10 respondents who used digital payment platforms to make transactions both offline and online. Some digital payment platforms used include e-wallets or digital wallets, mobile and internet banking including virtual debits, and delayed payments service namely Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) or commonly called paylater. According to Aska Primardi, Head of Research Jakpat, awareness and the number of users of financial products in Indonesia continue to increase from year to year, with the most widely used platform being digital payment.

E-wallet is the most widely used service by respondents who claim to use digital payments for transactions. As many as 84% of respondents use e-wallets for various needs such as paying for groceries both offline and online, paying for entertainment needs, to paying monthly bills. Followed by the use of digital or mobile and internet banking with 52%, and paylater for 26%. The use of digital payments is indeed more common among young people, namely Millennials and Gen Z, especially for e-wallets. While digital banks are used by more than half of Millennials and Gen X. Millennials are also the segment most exposed to the use of paylater. Among Millennials who usually use digital payment methods, there are 32% who admit to using paylater services. The most common transactions paid using paylater are online shopping (23%) and paying for food with online delivery orders (18%).

Investment and Insurance

In addition to reviewing the use of various digital payment services, the report also displays data on the use of other financial products such as investment, insurance, and credit. Of all respondents, there are 38% who pay credit installments every month and 24% of respondents pay insurance premiums. While users of investment products are at 25%.

“Users of investment products are at 25%, but after digging deeper, it turns out that not all investment users are users of insurance products. It can be seen that the proportion of Gen Z in the user investment platform segment is 32%, while the proportion of Gen Z in the insurance user segment is 19%. In contrast to Gen X, this segment sees more insurance than investment platforms,” Aska explained.

“If we look at the financial pyramid, then the thing that must first be met is a safety net (for example meeting basic needs, emergency funds, insurance), then followed by investment to accumulate and preserve wealth. This is what Gen Z forgets, where they prefer direct investment to achieve financial freedom, without considering financial “security” first. A common reason why Gen Z is more willing to take risks is because they are currently single and unmarried,” Aska added.

How exactly does Gen Z view the concept of financial management? Do Millennials share the same view?

Does The Vegetarian Diet Support Frugal Living?

Vegetarianism, or a lifestyle that adopts a diet without consuming animal-based foods, is increasing. In Indonesia alone, more than 2 million people adopt this lifestyle and around 2 thousand restaurants already provide vegetarian food on their menus[1].

Jakpat conducted a survey to find out the perspective of the Indonesian people regarding this trend. The report which involves 1,614 respondents shows how the diet is practiced nowadays, the reasons for adopting a vegetarian lifestyle, what plant-based foods are preferred, and the responses about brands/restaurants that provide vegetarian menus.

The survey results stated that 87% of respondents were eaters of everything, both animal and plant-based foods. Then, 11% tried to reduce the intake of animal-based foods and 2% were vegetarians.

“In line with the development of health issues such as diabetes, or obesity, to the problem of the quality of meat as a food raw material, the ideas and initiatives are now starting to emerge in the community to reduce meat consumption, increase vegetable consumption, and some even choose to become vegetarians,” said Head of Research Jakpat, Aska Primardi.

Living vegetarian for the sake of frugality

The general goal of respondents reducing animal-based foods as well as becoming vegetarians is to improve overall health, for example, to reduce the risk of dangerous diseases such as cholesterol, heart disease, or diabetes. There are also respondents who wanted to increase the body’s metabolism and lose weight.

Another interesting reason is this lifestyle is considered more frugal (32%). It is proved by one in three respondents that admitted their food expenses decreased after becoming vegetarian.

Various changes were felt by respondents who reduced animal-based food or became vegetarian, namely stable weight (51%), increased body metabolism (37%), and better mood (39%).

Preparing vegetarian meals

There are not many restaurants that provide vegetarian menus in Indonesia. This is in line with the results of the Jakpat survey which stated that the biggest obstacle to being a vegetarian is the difficulty of looking for plant-based foods when eating out. Therefore, it is not surprising that 60% of vegetarian respondents preferred to prepare their meals by cooking at home (59%) or chose non-animal foods in public restaurants (52%).

However, respondents supported if there is a restaurant that has vegetarian food on the menu (62%). Most of them considered plant-based foods healthier and good for the body.

So it is not surprising that skin care products in the format of drinks and supplements can be increasingly developed today, “said Aska.

The top reason consumers continue to consume beauty drinks and/or skin supplements is to maintain their general health (71%). Other motivations are to maintain healthy skin (64%) and solved skin problems such as acne or dry skin (59%).

Health Habits 2023: Knows the Health Risks But Lifestyle Remains Unhealthy

Each generation has different consumption behaviors when it comes to maintaining health. This is caused by various factors such as what is consumed to physical activity that is done.

Jakpat conducted a survey to find out the perspectives of Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and Generation Z in Indonesia regarding how they maintain health. The report, which involved 600 respondents, shows the consumption of water, sugar, and carbohydrates; exercise habits; and awareness of health risks.

Water VS Sugary Drinks

Only 16% of respondents have the habit of drinking enough water every day. In fact, those who often forget to drink water are twice as much as those who have this healthy habit. This means that awareness of the importance of drinking water in Indonesia is low for all generations.

The results of the Jakpat survey also found that 67% of respondents consumed sugary drinks 1-2 times a day. However, another 15% claimed to be sugar-free. In terms of gender, the percentage of women who adopt a sugar-free lifestyle is twice than men.

In terms of food, rice is still a staple food with more than 60% of respondents consuming this food every day. On the one hand, 16% of respondents admitted to eating fried foods every day.

However, respondents are aware of the importance of healthy and nutritious food. More than half of them have a balanced eating habit by eating vegetables and fruits. Also, 12% of them reduced their carbohydrate intake and 9% checked nutrition labels.

Women also tend to be healthier than men. The survey results showed that women ate a balanced diet (54%) and reduced sugar (30%) and carbohydrates (15%).

Lurking health hazards

Health risks, namely disease, were also of concern to respondents. More than half of Millennials (55%) and Gen X (52%) are wary of cholesterol. Meanwhile, digestive diseases are more of a concern for Gen Z (54%).

In terms of gender, women who are aware of the risk of diabetes, tend to do prevention. As many as 17% of them cut back on sugar, while only 9% of men did the same.

“They realize that these problems are caused by excessive consumption of sugary drinks, lack of mineral water consumption, excessive consumption of carbohydrates, and lack of exercise. The steps they take to overcome this problem are exercising from light to heavy, and also changing the pattern of food and beverage consumption, “said Head of Research Jakpat, Aska Primardi.

The importance of exercise

One in three respondents rated walking somewhere as a form of exercise. Meanwhile, 32% of respondents routinely exercise lightly once a week. As many as 16% did not do physical activity at all.

Financial Product Survey: Paylater as The Most Desirable

Each generation has different consumption behavior when it comes to finance. This is due to various factors such as exposure, usage, and attitude to available financial products.

Jakpat conducted a survey to find out the perspectives of Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and Generation Z in Indonesia related to finance. The report, which involved 602 respondents, shows what types of financial products are used, sources of income, and personas for each generation.

The survey results stated that all generations have savings with a percentage of more than 90% for each. The second most widely used financial product is paylater. Meanwhile, the younger generation (Gen Z) claims to have tried investment products such as stocks (27%).

“Paylater is one of the most popular financial products for every generation. However, it could be that each generation has different consideration factors before deciding to use paylater, “said Head of Research Jakpat, Aska Primardi.

He highlighted the number of paylater users in Gen X (38%) which is more than Gen Z (34%). But at the same time, the number of insurance, mortgage, and credit card users is also more than Millennials and Gen Z.

“It could be that Gen X chooses paylater as a short-term financial solution in order to meet their needs, considering that at the same time they also have to allocate budget for other financial products,” said Aska.

Meanwhile, the highest number of paylater users is Millennials (44%). “At the same time they also have loans, mortgages, credit cards, and stocks. In addition, they also have dependents, the family, which must be paid for. Paylater can be a solution for all these needs,” said Aska.

Sources of income

All generations rely on salary as their main source of income, followed by non-formal income such as being a freelancer or owning another business. Gen Z, as predicted, still depends on parental income. As many as 45% of them admitted to making remittances from parents as a source of income. This affects the financial products used by this young generation.

“Gen Z uses paylater and at the same time also invests in stocks. Given that the majority of Gen Z’s income is still not optimal, because one of them comes from parents/family, to optimize the amount of stock investment each month, they will buy some of the necessities through the paylater feature. So that their hope to achieve financial freedom in the future can be achieved, and the most important thing now is that they can still fulfill the needs of life and lifestyle,” explained Aska.

One in four respondents claimed to have double income. Although not significant, Millennials are the generation that has the most dual income with a percentage of almost 30%. Then, 22% of respondents admitted that they only had income in terms of non-formal. One out of three Generation Xers does this.

All generations allocate half of their income to daily needs. Then, as much as 27% of income is saved as savings.

3 Financial personas

Jakpat divides financial personas into three types. First, Backwards tend to have little savings and rely on loans. As many as 11% of respondents fall into this category.

Then, the Stable category where Generation X dominates with a percentage of almost 38%. These personas tend to ‘play it safe’ where they have savings but little investment. Lastly, Fordward-looking tend to be risk savvy where they have savings and investments. This group is dominated by Gen Z (30%).

Gen Z Property Investment: Considerations, Preparations, & Mortgage

Generation Z (Gen Z) is now being the target in the property sector. The majority of this generation are at the level of college students and first jobbers, with single/unmarried status. This age group tends not to have economic strength yet but wants to invest in property. However, there are also those who have already bought property.

Jakpat conducted a survey to find out the perspective of Gen Z when it comes to property. The report involving 1,194 respondents shows what types of property investments they are eyeing, and financial preparation in applying for House Ownership Credit (KPR), and views on property rent.

The survey results stated that three out of five respondents planned to buy property in the future. Vacant land is the most common choice where 69% of Gen Z thought about investing in such properties. Meanwhile, 30% of them planned to buy a landed house.

The purpose of Gen Z buying property

As many as 75% of Gen Z would buy property as an investment. Increasingly expensive prices are also the reason 43% of Gen Z wanted to buy property. Other considerations are housing (40%) and business needs (36%).

The Jakpat report also found that location and property access are the top determinants for Gen Z in choosing the property they want to buy (79%). Interesting locations are those close to access to the city center and public facilities such as public transportation or shopping centers.

“Currently, the main reason they want to buy property, especially vacant land, is as a form of investment for the future. This is reinforced by the main consideration factors are the location and access of the property, as well as the surrounding environmental condition. Hopefully, these factors can later increase the value of their property as an investment product,” said Head of Research Jakpat, Aska Primardi.

In addition, this property investment is also planned to become passive income by renting it out. “This interest arises because of the vision to achieve financial freedom in the future,” added Aska.

Jabodetabek is a dream area for Gen Z to buy property. Only 6% of respondents were interested in buying property outside Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara.

Gen Z’s preparation for buying property

As many as 29% of Gen Z planned to buy a property in the next 1-3 years. Meanwhile, 27% of respondents planned something similar in the next 4-5 years and another 20% of them projected it more than 5 years.

Two out of five Gen Zers preferred to buy property at their own budget. Then, 36% wanted to buy it with a partner and 31% were assisted by parents. Only 10% intended to buy property with a business partner.

Gen Z counts mortgage

One in four Gen Z wanted to buy property through a mortgage. The majority of those who choose this option intended to choose a 10-year tenor. There are various reasons for considering the amount of tenor chosen, one of which is the ability to pay installments (70%).
