The technology will help the bank gain a better insight on its consumer banking and SME customers, which in turn will help it create personalised e-banking services and marketing campaigns, according to IBM.

The platform will gather behavioral data from the bank’s internet portal and its Facebook fan page, and combine it with the bank’s internal transaction data and customers’ portfolios. The data will offer meaningful insights on customer needs which can be utilised by the bank to offer personalised and automated marketing campaigns using IBM UNICA.

The bank also intends to leverage the platform to accumulate behavioral data from other social networks including WeChat and Taobao in the future, the technology vendor added.
