Scenario

U+ Bank recently completed a project where customers who log in to their account page on the website see credit card offers.
Upon login to the U+ Bank website, customers see the offers that they qualify for based on the engagement polices defined by business.
The business team has classified the engagement policies into three groups:

  • Eligibility rules, which are the “hard” rules representing what is even possible to offer.
  • Applicability rules, which represent business practices that limit what to offer based on a customer’s current situation but are not as "hard" as Eligibility.
  • Suitability rules, which are rules that are the least "hard" but represent what the business should and should not do ethically and empathetically.

Some of the criteria apply to the entire credit card group and some apply to specific actions. The following table contains the list of the detailed requirements implemented:

Action

    The Standard card offer banner is displayed. This is the web treatment of type “tile” that is associated with the Standard card action.

  1. In the upper right, click the profile image and select Log out.
    Log out
  2. Repeat steps 1-5 to log in as Barbara and as Robert, and verify that each of the customers sees an offer that is correct as per the engagement policy defined. Use the information in the following table for verification.

    Note: Due to the engagement rules defined in the system, the following offers are valid for each of the customers. Therefore, when you log in as a customer, one of these offers is presented.

  1. Can you explain why the customers receive these offers?
    Note: Each of the three customers is above 18, does not own a credit card, and is currently a U+ bank customer, so the customers satisfy the generic credit card eligibility and applicability criteria.
    Troy does not see Rewards Plus & Premier Rewards because these offers are not suitable as his credit score is below 400.
    Barbara did not recently onboard, therefore Standard & Rewards are not eligible for her.
    Robert did recently onboard and his credit score, 600, is higher than the 400 threshold; therefore, Robert qualifies for all four offers.
