Unifying Customer Data for Personalized Banking on Databricks

Customer expectations in banking continue to rise. Consumers want hyper-personalized financial recommendations, instant insights, and seamless digital interactions across every channel. Legacy systems and siloed data landscapes make this level of engagement nearly impossible. 

A unified, AI-ready Customer 360 platform is essential for modern personalization. Databricks Lakehouse provides the foundation for unifying customer data at scale. Combined with KPI Partners’ accelerators and BFSI expertise, banks can build a Customer 360 platform that delivers personalization, smarter engagement, and measurable revenue growth. 

Why Customer 360 Is Critical for Modern Banks 

Today’s banking customers interact across multiple channels, including mobile apps, web portals, branches, call centers, ATMs, payment platforms, and chatbots. These signals often remain scattered across product-specific systems. 

A Customer 360 platform consolidates these interactions to create a holistic and actionable profile for each customer. 

Real business outcomes include: 

• Personalized product offers - Analyze behavior, spending patterns, and financial needs to deliver relevant loan, credit, investment, or insurance offers.

• Intelligent customer engagement - Predict churn, identify cross-sell opportunities, and tailor outreach based on real-time events.  

• Fraud and anomaly detection - lend behavioral and transactional data to quickly detect unusual activities.

• More profitable customer journeys - Provide marketing, product, and service teams with consistent and unified insights. 

How Databricks Lakehouse Powers Customer 360   

 Databricks unifies structured, semi-structured, and unstructured customer data into one scalable platform. Banks can consolidate: 

• transactions 
• app clickstreams 
• call center logs 
• CRM interactions 
• demographic and financial profiles 
• behavioral and digital signals 

Banks can then process this combined data using advanced analytics, machine learning, and generative AI. 

Key platform advantages include:  

• Scalable processing of high-volume customer data 

• Real-time streaming for event-driven personalization 

• ML and GenAI workflows for churn prediction, next-best-offer, and credit risk modeling 
• Strong governance to maintain privacy and compliance
