Financial services are an example of such products. Insurance and bank services offered to elderly people through traditional and modern delivery channels are a subject of the present text.

The verification of the constructed hypotheses was carried out on the basis of research conducted among 1498 people aged 50+ from the northern Poland. Moreover, recommendations are included in the article for the economic practice serving better adaptation of the market offer to expectations of customers of financial services.
