What predictive capabilities does Segmint offer?
Segmint analyzes first-party transactions to create Key Lifestyle Indicators (KLIs) and machine-learning scores that predict product propensity, churn risk, wallet-share opportunities, and the best timing and channel for outreach.
In practice, FI teams use Segmint to score who is most likely to adopt a product (e.g., card, HELOC, savings), who shows early attrition risk, which customers have external relationships to win back, and when/where to present the next-best message. Scores are fueled by KLIs, merchant signals, and behavior trends, then activated across digital banking, email/SMS, and paid media.
Segmint predictive capabilities (what they do and how you use them)
| Capability | What it predicts | Example trigger | Where to activate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product propensity | Likelihood to open or adopt a product | High debit spend + travel KLIs → credit card offer | In-app tile, email, on-site personalization |
| Churn / attrition risk | Probability of account or relationship loss | Declining logins + dormant product usage | Service outreach, retention incentives |
| Share-of-wallet recapture | External product holding likelihood | Mortgage or card payments to another FI | Competitive switcher campaigns |
| Next-best action & timing | Which offer and when to display it | Payday cadence → direct deposit prompt | Digital banking, SMS reminder |
| Segment discovery | New clusters with shared needs | Small business patterns in consumer base | Journey enrollment rules |
