Its members have specific attitudes and expectations as consumers, employees and citizens. They are the youngest consumers who participate on labour market. Also, they have specific savings habits and a level of financial literacy. To understand how members of Generation Z are saving, their attitudes towards saving and their own financial capacity, a research was conducted using a survey questionnaire on a suitable sample of 250 respondents, adult members of Generation Z born between 1995 and 2001. Examined variables relate to attitudes towards savings, their own financial capacity and tendency to save. It is concluded Generation Z has positive attitudes towards saving, believe they can make their own financial decision and have tendency to save. Most of Generation Z is saving and mostly by themselves, not in the bank. They are familiar with types of saving available on the market, but they do not use them on a larger scale. To raise the number of savings in banks and in general, and to increase awareness of saving between young adults of Generation Z it is necessary to enhance their knowledge about personal finances and saving strategies and to adjust saving offer according to their needs.
