In this video, you will know how data science is transforming our lives through the Banking and Finance sectors. 

Ever since the advent of money, people have striven to manage it effectively. The face of banking is changing and quickly.  choose any facet of banking – risk management, pricing, marketing outreach, customer outreach, product development, cost, and revenue allocation – data science is there already. The face of the banking industry has been evolving quickly. Using data science in the banking industry is much more than a trend, it has turned a necessity to keep up with the competition. Banks need to understand that big data technologies can help them focus their resources efficiently, make better decisions, and improve performance.

1.Fraud Detection

Proactive fraud detection in banking is vital for providing security to consumers and employees. The sooner a bank detects fraud, the faster it can minimize losses. The key steps to fraud detection are procuring data samplings for model estimation and preliminary testing, Model estimation, Testing stage, and deployment. Since every data set is different, each one requires individual training and fine-tuning by data scientists. Changing the deep theoretical knowledge into practical applications requires expertise in data-mining techniques, like clustering, forecasting, association, and classification.

2.Managing Customer Data

Nowadays, digital banking is widely used. This creates terabytes of customer data, so the primary step of the data scientists team is to isolate relevant data. Having information about customer behaviors, preferences, and interactions data specialists with aid of accurate machine learning models can unlock new revenue opportunities for banks by isolating and processing only the most relevant clients’ information to enhance business decision-making.

3.Risk Modeling for Investment Banks

Investment banking evaluates the worth of businesses to generate capital in corporate financing, facilitate acquisitions and mergers, conduct corporate restructuring for investment purposes.

7.Customer Segmentation

Customer segmentation means singling out a type of customer based on either their behavior or specific characteristics. There is a whole bunch of techniques in data scientists’ arsenal like clustering, decision trees, logistic regression, etc. and, as a result, they help to learn the CLV of every customer segment and identify high-value and low-value segments.

8.Recommendation Engines

To make a recommendation engine, data specialists analyze and process a lot of data, identify consumer profiles, and capture data highlighting their interactions to avoid repeating offers.

9.Customer Support
