The Challenges

Low Engagement with Financial Services Among Gen Z

Young users tend to avoid or ignore insurance-related topics due to perceived complexity and irrelevance.

Lack of Cultural and Situational Context

Cross-border users (especially students or new immigrants) needed tailored messaging that spoke to their real-life pain points.

Trust Barrier in a Skeptical Audience

Financial products—especially from lesser-known providers—require elevated trust and social proof before consideration.
