How Does Segmint Help Banks Understand Customer Behavior?
Segmint transforms transaction and account data into lifestyle indicators and segments so banks can see real behavior and deliver timely, relevant offers.
Segmint helps banks understand customer behavior by cleansing and classifying transaction data, assigning Key Lifestyle Indicators® (KLIs), and building behavioral segments that reveal needs, life events, and product affinities. Marketers can then target, trigger, and measure campaigns across channels based on what customers actually do—not just who they are.
