Why it matters
Despite inflationary pressures and higher oil prices stemming from the US war with Iran, consumer spending has remained resilient, supporting growth in the digital banking sector. Chime noted that households earning $75,000 or more were its fastest-growing customer segment.
The US-Iran war is accelerating the outlook for consumer inflation, which is impacting banks.
