Survey background
Generation Z (*) continues to attract attention as they have a great influence on the world and are said to be responsible for consumption in the future. This time, in collaboration with the “Generation Z Study Group (Zetken),” which conducts marketing activities targeting Generation Z, we investigated the financial situation of Generation Z. In addition, we investigated the actual situation among Generation Z regarding cashless payments that do not use cash, which is becoming popular in Japan.
* In this survey, the target people up to 25 years old at the time of the survey (October 2022) are the Z generation.

Use of cashless payment
When we asked the survey respondents about their use of cashless payments within the last month and compared them by generation, the result was that generation Z did not use cashless payments compared to other generations. I got out.
Generations older than Z (age 26 and older) have used cashless payments in the past month, exceeding 70%, while Generation Z as a whole has a large difference of 50%. Taking a closer look, we found that there is a gap among Generation Z, with 43.8% for those under the age of 18 and 67.3% for those between the ages of 19 and 25. [Image 2

Cash/cashless usage status
We asked cashless payment users within the last month whether they used cash payment or cashless payment more often.
Among Generation Z who are 18 years old and younger, there are more cash-based people than cashless people. On the other hand, when we focus on Generation Z aged 19 to 25, there are relatively few people who prefer cash and a relatively large number of people prefer cashless payment. Among Generation Z, there is a gap between those aged 18 and under and those aged 19-25.

Relationship between credit card ownership rate and cashless payment experience We asked credit card users and non-users within the last month about which of them used cash or cashless more frequently.
More than half of credit card users answered that they “often use cashless payments,” while more than half of non-credit card users answered that they “often use cash payments.” The presence or absence of a credit card is considered to have a significant impact on the frequency of cashless payments.

According to this survey, the usage rate of cashless payments for Generation Z is lower than that of other generations, but whether or not they own a credit card has a significant impact on their willingness to use cashless payments. Do you get it.
In the future, if Generation Z, who is currently under the age of 18, will be able to have a credit card, it is expected that the cashless usage rate of Generation Z will increase.
