How Payment Experience Influences Consumer Choice and Payment Priority
Hosted on September 29, 2026

New research from SBT and Datos Insights reveals what 2,000 U.S. consumers expect from the payment experience and how that experience can influence which payments get prioritized.

Consumers have more ways to pay than ever. But when multiple bills are competing for the same paycheck, not every payment gets equal priority.

So, what determines which bill get paid first? And how much does the payment experience itself influence that decision?

SBT commissioned Datos Insights to survey 2,000 U.S. consumers to answer these questions and uncover what really shapes payment behavior, from the moment a consumer receives a reminder to the moment they complete a transaction.
