Scenario

U+ Bank has recently completed a pilot project where customers see a single offer, the Standard card offer when they log in to their account page on the bank website.

The business team now wants to introduce three more credit card offers and implement engagement policies to ensure that customers receive only tailored relevant offers.

Following best practices, the business team categorizes the engagement policies into three groups:

  • Eligibility rules, which are strict rules that represent what it is possible to offer.
  • Applicability rules, which represent business practices that limit what to offer based on a customer's current situation. These rules are not as strict as eligibility rules.
  • Suitability rules, which represent what the business should and should not do ethically and empathetically. These rules are the least strict rules.

Some of the criteria apply to the entire Credit Card group, and some apply to specific actions. The detailed requirements are shown in the following tables:

Action

Condition: Customer…
