Middle-income Americans’ financial confidence is holding strong. The Q4 2025 Santander US Paths to Prosperity survey shows consumer confidence remains at a three-year high, with nearly 8 in 10 middle-income Americans saying they’re on the right financial track financially. What’s driving that confidence? - Job security. - The ability to manage price pressures. - Growing optimism around artificial intelligence’s (AI) potential to improve financial well-being. Key findings include: - Auto demand remains strong, particularly with used vehicles, as consumers prioritize practicality and reliability. - AI is emerging as a useful tool to help navigate the car-buying experience and explore financing options. - More consumers are taking advantage of higher yield savings opportunities, with more than half earning 3% or more on their primary savings account. At Santander US, our purpose is to help our customers achieve prosperity. As the financial landscape evolves, insights like these help us better support consumers today and build their confidence for the future. Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/enBfVH2V
