Gen Z is rewriting the rules of adulthood. They’re hustling on side gigs, chasing personal goals, and living authentically—but they’re also proving that financial protection isn’t just for “later.” It’s part of their now.
And in this fresh approach to securing the future, one name stands out: BDO Life.
Gen Z’s Top Insurance Choice
At the 2026 Synergy–YouGov Awards, BDO Life ranked No. 1 in Insurance Consideration, making it the top brand Gen Zs are eyeing for their next purchase. This recognition is backed by YouGov BrandIndex’s 2025 nationwide consumer tracking, which surveyed more than 3,000 Gen Z respondents daily.
That’s not just a win—it’s proof that insurance is becoming part of the Gen Z lifestyle.
A Message of Growth
“BDO Life is expanding its reach to support a broader range of breadwinners, including Gen Z. We appreciate how they value life insurance as a meaningful way to plan and secure their future. This milestone inspires us to keep growing alongside the evolving needs of future generations,” shared Shirlyn T. Book, BDO Life VP and Marketing Head, during the awards ceremony.
Her words capture the shift perfectly: insurance isn’t just a safety net anymore—it’s a Plan B for building a secure future.
Why This Matters
For younger generations, life insurance is no longer seen as something you buy when you’re older. It’s becoming a badge of responsibility and foresight, a way to balance ambition with protection.
BDO Life’s recognition shows that the brand isn’t just keeping up—it’s leading the way in making financial security relevant, relatable, and meaningful for Gen Z.
In short, Gen Z is proving that planning doesn’t mean slowing down—it means moving forward with confidence. And with BDO Life at the top of their list, the future looks not just secure, but empowered.
