It provides a comprehensive array of banking products and services, including corporate banking, personal banking, and treasury operations. ICBC is known for its extensive customer base and manages a vast network that includes digital banking services catering to various customer needs from individual banking to large corporate finance solutions.

Challenges

Issue Identification: ICBC aimed to enhance long-term loyalty among its high-value B2B clients but faced significant hurdles in accurately predicting and identifying churn risks among clients with substantial customer lifetime value. The lack of actionable data insights prevented the bank from effectively customizing loyalty programs for high net worth customers.

Issue Impact: The inability to predict churn among high-value B2B clients led to revenue loss, inefficient resource allocation, competitive disadvantage, brand impact, and strategic setbacks.
