Some sources suggest that about half of Gen Zers have a credit card, while others indicate that they are less likely to have one than older generations. The reasons for this may include the following:

• Gen Zers are younger and have less income and credit history than older generations, making it harder for them to qualify for credit cards.

• Gen Zers are more cautious and responsible with their money, and they prefer to use debit cards, cash, or alternative payment methods, such as buy now, pay later.

• Gen Zers are more aware of the risks and costs of credit card debt, and they seek to avoid it or pay it off quickly.

• Gen Zers have different values and preferences when it comes to credit cards, and they look for cards that offer rewards, benefits, and features that suit their needs and lifestyles.
