Americans are saving less than they have in years, and the banking industry is partly to blame.Jim Marous argues that the savings crisis is partly a design failure. Banks spent decades making spending effortless while leaving saving to willpower, and the programs that actually changed behavior, from Christmas Clubs to round-ups to retirement auto-enrollment, all worked the same way: they built a system and removed the decision. The uncomfortable part is why the industry never automated everyday saving behaviors.This episode covers the difference between a knowledge problem and a behavior problem, what Bank of America, Ally, SoFi, and Acorns understood that most institutions ignored, why the clearest signal a customer can send so often goes unanswered, and the single change that would do more than any new technology.Subscribe for new Banking Insights each week as part of the Banking Transformed podcast.#BankingTransformed #Banking #DigitalBanking #FinancialWellness #BehavioralEconomics #Fintech #Saving
