Elder Life Planning for Banks • Community banks and credit unions throughout the U.S. are facing a marketplace that is experiencing fundamental and long lasting changes. Consolidation, competition from other financial services providers, and federal and state banking laws are forcing banks to change the way they do business. • Consumers changing the way they look at their bank. As mergers and acquisitions abound and banks seek to both, reduce costs and increase profit, customers are feeling alienated and even abandoned. www.bank-marketing.org
Elder Life Planning for Banks • Coincident to these changes is the rapid aging of America. Every seven to ten seconds someone turns fifty in America. Over the next fifteenn years the over fifty market will more than double. • Meanwhile the number of Americans under fifty will increase by only 1%. www.bank-marketing.org
Senior Markets Are Growing Rapidly The 25 to 40 Age Group Will Decline Steadily • Over the next 12 years (2012-2024) the over fifty market will increase by approximately 50%. • Those under fifty will increase by only 1%. • The current 50+ population is 80 million strong, and will grow to More than 100 million in just 5 years. • Every day 6,000 Americans turn 65. www.bank-marketing.org
People are living longer • Fastest growing segment of our population -people over 85 • At age 65, people can now expect to live 16-19 years longer • Today there are 40 million seniors, by 2030 there will be 70 million www.bank-marketing.org

The Senior Market is Critical to BanksThe aging of America requires fundamental and continuous changes in how financial institutions interact with their customers.Consumers are scrutinizing products and services more closely than before. They are changing the way they look at their bank. Consolidations have left many customers feeling alienated and even abandoned. www.bank-marketing.org
Maturing consumers are now the most significant market for bank products and services. • Changes in the overall marketplace and the age of current and future customers will require that community banks that intend to stay competitive must develop fresh, innovative approaches to marketing, sales, product development and service delivery. • Banks must develop business and service delivery system strategies to respond to the changing needs of maturing consumers. Bank marketers must position their bank to take advantage of the coming changes that favor community banks with a knowledgeable, strategic, systematic and integrated approach to securing, serving and retaining maturing consumers. www.bank-marketing.org
Community Bank as Information Resource Center for Older Depositors and Caregivers • Develop financial strategy for managing costs • Personnel with in-depth knowledge of the catastrophic costs of long-term care. • Bank personnel as an information resource on financial issues such as Medicare, Medicare, Medicaid & Veteran’s benefits www.bank-marketing.org
Banks can take an active role in educating their maturing depositors • Otherwise the staggering costs of long term care will result in a steady stream of deposits leaving the bank to pay for home care, nursing homes and other expensive forms of care. • With the proper advice and assistance; significant savings in the costs of care can be achieved. www.bank-marketing.org
3 significant market segments in the overall “Mature Market”. • GROUP 1. The 65+ market contains many who are living longer and healthier than ever before. They are more active and more affluent, than any previous generation of “elders”. At age 65, healthy people can now expect to live 16-19 additional years. www.bank-marketing.org
GROUP 2: Age 85 + Blessed with more longevity this group more likely to face severe disabilities. • Likely to require daily assistance to stay at home, move to a retirement community or, in some cases to a nursing home. • Because long term or “custodial” care is expensive and not covered by Medicare, these costs can result in a significant drain on savings www.bank-marketing.org
Group 3:The 45 to 65-age group • Most of these folks are still working, and a significant percentage will continue to work well past the age of 65. They are not, as a group, as concerned about their own health and disability issues. They are very worried, however, about those in the first 2 groups, their parents and grandparents. www.bank-marketing.org
WHY GROUP 3 is WORRIED ABOUT GROUPS 1 & 2 ? • Eighty-five percent of the American work force expects to have some form of elder care responsibilities within the next 15 years. • 40% expect to take on elder caregiving responsibilities within the next 5 years. • There are 25 million caregivers in the US. • Over 60% of these caregivers have been providing care for more than 5 years. • More than 80% of caregiving is done at home. • 47% of caregivers are employed. • . www.bank-marketing.org
