Machine learning predicts financial fragmentation in retail banking

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a temporal machine learning system to predict financial fragmentation in retail banking, a state preceding complete customer attrition. This system analyzes anonymized data from a large retail bank, using 346 engineered features to forecast external fund transfers or investments within a 90-day window. The model employs a four-stage XGBoost cascade to predict outflow occurrence, amount, originating product, and destination institution, achieving a precision-recall AUC of 0.823 for fragmentation prediction.

IMPACT This research offers a novel approach to customer retention in financial services by predicting early signs of customer disengagement.
