Cash App Afterpay Reveals That Credit Card “Ick” is Real with Nearly Two-Thirds of Gen Z Ditching Credit Cards for Smarter Spending<\/b><\/p>\n

Report reveals 63% of Gen Z have moved away from credit cards in favor of alternatives as hidden fees, high interest rates and financial stress drive demand for more transparent alternatives<\/i><\/p>\n

More than half of Gen Z believe BNPL helps them better manage their finances compared to traditional credit, highlighting a clear generational shift<\/i><\/p>\n

DISTRIBUTED-WORK-MODEL\/SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Cash App Afterpay released the Why Credit Cards Give Gen Z The Ick<\/i> Report, a deep dive into the evolving financial behaviors of next generation consumers based on research conducted by Morning Consult. The report highlights growing skepticism with traditional credit, the struggle to budget effectively, and a rising preference for debit cards and Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solutions – trends that are magnified with Gen Z consumers.1<\/sup> This comes at a critical time for retailers and brands with Gen Z poised to drive major structural shifts in the economy. With their growing purchasing power, digital fluency, and values-driven behavior, they will shape industries, influence trends and redefine how brands engage with them.\n<\/p>\n

The Growing \u2018Ick\u2019 Factor of Credit Cards for Younger Consumers<\/b><\/p>\n

\nConsumer sentiment around credit cards is shifting for all Americans, with 82% agreeing that using credit cards can be financially dangerous. For many, credit card debt isn\u2019t just a financial burden, it\u2019s an emotional battle, with 68% of Americans saying they struggled with credit card debt at some point. More than two-thirds of Gen Z (68%) report that credit card bills cause them stress and anxiety, while more than half (51%) say credit cards give them the \u2018ick.\u2019\n<\/p>\n

\nResearch found that 40% of credit card users are frequently surprised by how much they pay in interest fees, a figure that jumps to 53% for Gen Z. Similarly, just 72% of Gen Z feel confident in managing their personal finances, which is significantly less than Millennials (82%), Gen X (85%), and Boomers+ (92%). It\u2019s clear a gap exists in financial transparency and education for younger generations – underscoring the need for a new solution.\n<\/p>\n

Americans, Especially Gen Z, Are Choosing Debit and BNPL Over Credit Cards<\/b><\/p>\n

\nAs frustration with credit cards grows, consumers are actively seeking alternative payment methods that offer greater transparency and control. Debit cards remain the most widely used, with 70% of Americans relying on them for purchases. According to the report, 60% of Americans who have used a credit card have switched to another payment method, and that\u2019s even higher for Gen Z at 63%.\n<\/p>\n

\nNotably, more than half of Gen Z (52%) believe BNPL could help them better manage their finances compared to traditional credit, highlighting a shift toward structured, interest-free payment models that prioritize financial well-being. BNPL solutions, such as Cash App Afterpay, are an increasingly trusted option especially among younger consumers. The report finds that nearly half of Americans (48%) are open to using BNPL in the future, including 55% of Gen Z.\n<\/p>\n

The Future of Payments: Choice, Control, and Clarity<\/b><\/p>\n

\nThese findings reinforce the broader shift that consumers, especially Gen Z, are making toward financial tools that prioritize transparency, flexibility, and responsible spending\u2014values that are shaping the future of payments.\n<\/p>\n

\nConsumers are reevaluating their relationship with traditional credit, and are no longer willing to accept opaque fees or compounding interest, nor the stress that accompanies it. Instead, they are gravitating toward payment solutions that value transparency and flexibility, and most importantly one that supports their financial health.\n<\/p>\n

\nCash App Afterpay is at the forefront of this shift, offering a transparent and responsible way to shop and budget without the stress of revolving debt. With features like real-time underwriting, clear payment schedules, and no compounding interest, Cash App Afterpay\u2019s pay over time features are helping consumers spend smarter and plan better, empowering them to take charge of their financial future.\n<\/p>\n
