Barclaycard

A starting point

• Credit Card scoring blazes the trail for Big Data

A starting point

• Credit Card scoring blazes the trail for Big Data Risk scoring dates to the early sixties Account management scoring to the early eighties Direct mail spurs the next wave of innovation/development

• Credit Card scoring blazes the trail for Big Data Risk scoring dates to the early sixties Account management scoring to the early eighties Direct mail spurs the next wave of innovation/development

• Virtually every customer touch point is highly dependent on statistical models imbedded in near real time systems fed by a wide variety of data

• The existence of such tools … and the proper use of them by credit managers … is the foundation of credit card management today.

Building the Foundation -- Learnings

1. Common operational platforms are key

Without them you can’t get scale

Blindly following numbers yields poor customer experience

Can Big Data help us become the ‘Go-To’ bank?

Big Data solutions are often sold on the following merits:

•Reduced costs Disk, Processing, Back-up Open source software

•Faster analytics MPP/IMP Real-time/Near Real-time processing

Big Data solutions are often sold on the following merits:

•Reduced costs Disk, Processing, Back-up Open source software

•Faster analytics MPP/IMP Real-time/Near Real-time processing

While these savings can be significant there is one simple obstacle …

… we’ve already made significant investments in such technology.

Our costs are already sunk – adopting newer platforms is an incremental cost

Can Big Data help us become the ‘Go-To’ bank?

• Getting people to want to be our customers takes way more than keeping our losses in check

• We need to have a more complete view of the customer Are we making their lives easy when they use our product? Are we meeting their needs in a responsible way? Are we adding to their lives by providing products and services that go beyond

• Bureau data, card usage data, and payment data doesn’t give us much insight into these questions.

So Big Data is not just about adding additional X’s to the mix …

…. It is about creating new Y’s to investigate

Can Big Data help us become the ‘Go-To’ bank?

First steps …

2013 Focuses on Proof-of-Concept initiatives:

Hadoop tests (US)

SAS High Power Analytic tests (UK)

Voice of the Customer initiatives using Verint speech-to-text analytics

Customer specific web presentment (UK)

2014 takes these learnings and deploys new solutions

… Next steps …The next 3 years entails:

New data (of course)o Web logso Customer callso AID transaction data

New hardware and software to house this datao Globally available analytic environments where cost isn’t an issue in investigating data

New skillso Deriving information from unstructured datao Investigating alternative modelling techniques where feasible

Key challenges: Market understanding increasingly critical

o Cultural norms more pronounced in unstructured data

Increased complexity of implementations o Timeliness of results increasingly criticalo Accessing a wide variety of contextual data as customers use our products

... Pivotal change …

• Whereas data intensive statistical analytics has been the mainstay of Risk Management and Marketing, Big Data opens the door to driving Operations and new business lines.

• The beauty of this is the following: Whereas the business case for replacing existing hardware and software that drives

today’s analytics is often weak, the Big Data business case thrives in operations.

Tackling new areas requires new investment.

With that new hardware/software in place, it is then feasible to migrate existing traditional analytics to that new platform.
