Difficulty in predicting credit risk and delinquency rates due to inconsistent customer data.

Our Solution
01
Customer Segmentation Model
We implemented a machine learning-based segmentation model that grouped customers into distinct categories based on their transaction history, product usage, demographic data, and engagement with the bank’s services. This helped identify high-value customers, dormant customers, and those with cross-sell potential.
02
Credit Risk Scoring System
We developed a predictive risk scoring model that automatically assessed loan applicants by evaluating factors such as credit history, income levels, transaction patterns, and economic trends. This model helped the bank assess creditworthiness more accurately and streamline the loan approval process.
03
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) Prediction
Using historical customer data, we created a CLV prediction model that calculated the long-term value of each customer. This allowed the bank to tailor its marketing efforts and loyalty programs toward customers with higher lifetime profitability.
04
Personalized Marketing Analytics
By analyzing customer behavior and preferences, we provided insights into optimal marketing channels, personalized product recommendations, and targeted campaigns. This resulted in better allocation of marketing budgets and increased response rates.
