This year reminded everyone in finance that the biggest risks aren’t always on the balance sheet. They start quietly a viral post, a frustrated client, or a few negative reviews that spread fast. Reputation is now the most unpredictable and valuable asset a financial company can have.
When Trust Breaks
In 2025, one in four U.S. households thought about changing their main financial provider. That puts around 11 trillion dollars in assets at risk. The fall of Silicon Valley Bank showed how fast confidence can disappear. Within two days, 42 billion dollars were withdrawn because of panic on social media. "Trust that takes years to build can collapse in hours."
New Traps for Financial Brands
Even the best intentions turned into risks this year:
- AI scams cost companies millions. A deepfake video in Hong Kong led to a loss of 25 million dollars.
- ESG commitments faced backlash as investors pulled 8.6 billion dollars from sustainable funds.
- Fake reviews and data leaks destroyed credibility in minutes.
On average, firms caught in a reputation crisis lost about 35 percent of their market value.
