Many do, according to a newly released Bain & Company survey. Specifically, when asked about their willingness to try a free Amazon bank account offering 2% cash back on purchases, 65% of Amazon Prime members polled expressed interest. Amazon shoppers who weren’t Prime members (43%) and non-Amazon shoppers (37%) were less interested, but more than one-third of both respondent groups said they would be likely to open an account.
Amazon already offers a co-branded credit card with 2% cash back, so a hypothetical banking product with similar perks wouldn’t be out of the question. One-third of Prime members had used an Amazon payment method like Prime Rewards Visa or Amazon Cash in the past year.
Internet users ages 18 to 34 across all income levels had the highest rate of interest in banking with Amazon—over 60%—compared with about half of those ages 35 to 54 and just under 40% of respondents ages 55 and older. For the two older age groups, interest rose slightly among those with annual incomes of $100,000 or higher.
