A SAS Case Study
Raiffeisen Bank Austria d.d. Croatia (RBA) faced disappointing top-line results driven by product-centric CRM processes, suboptimal campaign targeting and management, insufficient CRM technology and data structure, and a shortage of experienced analytics staff. Marketing was manual and broad rather than tailored, limiting the bank’s ability to engage customers and build long-term relationships.
Working with SAS, RBA implemented SAS Customer Analytics and Enterprise Miner to build customer segmentation and predictive models, shift to a customer-oriented approach, and run targeted campaigns. Within six months conversion rates rose dramatically—credit cards from 2.2% to 36%, general consumer loans from 1.14% to 6.6%, and SME short-term products from 0.9% to 9%—while acquisition and retention costs fell, revenue increased, and staff capabilities improved.
