How familiar are you with digital-first banking platforms and their role in modern investment services?

I still prefer traditional appointment-based banking and haven't explored digital platforms much. I use mobile banking apps occasionally, but I'm not sure about their full capabilities. I actively use digital platforms for most transactions and understand their advantages. I'm fully leveraging digital platforms and actively monitoring AI-powered investment tools available through my bank.

What percentage of your investment portfolio is currently focused on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) investments?

Zero percent—I haven't considered ESG investing yet. Less than 10%—I'm aware of ESG but haven't made it a priority. Between 10-30%—I have some ESG exposure and am gradually increasing it. Over 30%—ESG alignment is a core part of my investment strategy.

How important is cybersecurity and data protection when evaluating your investment banking provider?

I haven't really thought about it—I assume banks are secure. It's somewhat important, but I'm not sure how to assess a bank's security practices. It's very important, and I've researched my bank's security measures. It's critical—I actively evaluate security credentials and breach history before choosing a bank.

How integrated is your current banking experience across investment, wealth management, and financial planning services?

I work with multiple separate providers and manage everything independently. I have some services with one institution, but they're not well-connected. My bank offers integrated services, though there's room for improvement. My bank provides seamless integration across all financial services—investments, wealth management, and planning work together perfectly.
