The Greening Of America — One eStatement At A Time

North American Consumer Technographics

by Catherine Graeber, Elizabeth Davis

with Carrie Johnson, Emily Bowen

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

The adoption of eStatements in the US continues to grow, which we track by looking at data from Forrester's North American Technographics® Financial Services Online Survey, Q3 2007. In the past two years, online consumers receiving an eStatement for their credit card grew from 42% to 55%, a 31% increase. Among consumers who have given up paper statements, environmental concerns drove them to move to eStatements. The Gen Y segment has made the most progress in giving up paper statements, while Seniors are still clinging to paper. But there's still work to be done: Across all deposit and credit product categories, 45% of those consumers still receiving paper statements report that they'll never switch to eStatements. But the other 55% of paper statement junkies could be convinced to change their ways. What would it take? A mix of financial incentives and help with record-keeping alternatives.
