· This blog explains what everyday people expect from banks in uncertain times.
Amid heightened tensions, the G7 Summit just concluded in June 2025, where leaders from powerful countries discussed money, security and world peace. Now, attention turns to the US election in November, a major event that could reshape the global economy.

They want reassurance that their money will remain secure if markets fluctuate, guidance on interest rates and straightforward support that reduces stress rather than adding to it.

translate these developments into simple explanations that connect global outcomes to personal finance.
Why the US election matters
The US election: why is everyone watching?
The November 2025 US election is a focal point. Depending on the outcome, new policies could reshape trade, taxation, banking rules and inflation controls. Because US financial policy often influences other economies, customers worldwide are asking: Will rates rise or fall? Will equity markets remain stable?
Banks can build confidence by communicating more frequently and clearly, helping customers feel informed rather than uncertain.
Building trust in uncertain times
Trust is strengthened when banks speak plainly about how global events affect personal money matters. This means providing timely alerts on currency shifts, ensuring digital platforms are secure and responsive, and offering tools that help customers budget, invest and save in line with market realities.
Green finance remains a priority
Despite the focus on elections and inflation, many customers continue to care deeply about about climate change. Demand is rising for eco-loans, green saving accounts and investment products that support sustainability. Banks that address this are strengthening customer loyalty and positioning themselves as future-ready.From G7 commitments to the upcoming US election, 2025 is a proving a pivotal year for global finance. From Washington to Tokyo, customers feel the effects of shifting policies and uncertain markets.
Banks must keep things simple and communicate clearly to customers. In uncertain times, customers value banks that listen, explain and support.
