Fizz

What if your credit score dropped 200 points — and you didn’t even know why? Millions of Americans face this kind of financial setback every year. Not because they don’t care, but because no one told them how to avoid it. Financial mistakes happen silently — and they compound. In his BankThink, Scott Smith, Co-founder & COO of Fizz makes the case for why artificial intelligence could be the solution Gen Z and millennials need — not just to learn personal finance, but to live it better, every day. 🔹 Nearly half of Gen Z reports daily money stress. 🔹 Only 20% of low-income households can access financial advice. 🔹 Traditional education and human advisors aren’t scalable — but AI is. Smith outlines how financial AI agents — trained for precision and accountability — can give every consumer personalized, proactive guidance once reserved for the wealthy. This isn’t theory. It’s what the future of financial wellness looks like.

Nearly two-thirds of college students work while earning their degrees. Yet, despite balancing jobs and coursework, only 1 in 10 can afford to pay rent independently.

At Fizz, we’re dedicated to empowering students with the tools they need to build credit and take control of their financial futures. It’s time to rethink how we support the next generation. 💭 Read more from our Co-Founder and COO, Scott, exploring the financial challenges today’s students face: https://lnkd.in/eZs4SRnC
