25-40s continue to dominate switching

Those in the 25-40 age bracket were the most active switchers in the UK by a significant margin. This demographic made up 40% of all switches (84,660) while representing just 22% of the population2.

This group was trailed by the 51-64 demographic (36,607), 65+ (34,845) and 41-50 (33,761). These groups switched in direct proportion to their representation in the population, making up a combined 49% of all switches and 49% of the total UK population.

Young adults were marginally more likely to switch than those above 40, with 18-24s making up 11% (23,105) of all switches but only 8% of the population. Child accounts amounted to 432 switches across the quarter, and account for the remaining 21% of the UK population.

John Dentry, Product Owner at Pay.UK, owner and operator of the Current Account Switch Service, said: “As consumers face falling interest rates, branch closures and an increasing marketplace of different and diverse offering from banks, these local stats shine a light on where these market changes are having the biggest impact.

“With high inflation and changing rates on savings, there is no time like the present to reconsider your banking options and ensure your cash is in the right place. Beyond financial benefits, the range of different tools, products and services that banks and building societies provide is always evolving, so make sure you’re constantly re-assessing and partner with a bank that best suits your needs.”
