The study found that millennials take advice from financial institutions and their families for banking preferences.
However, 59% of respondents reported that they have knowledge about their banking products and would accept advice on personal finance topics such as savings, budget and credit cards.
TD Bank retail distribution and product executive vice president, Nandita Bakhshi, said the results of their study prove that financial education is not only a key component of financial success, but also that millennials want more support with their personal finances.
"While millennials are banking more online and on their mobile device, 52% are still visiting a branch as frequently as they did last year.
