It combines financial transactions, in-app actions, inquiries, and communications into a single timeline and identifies patterns.

The multimodal approach improves forecast accuracy and makes it possible to use one model across different scenarios instead of separate solutions. The technology was tested in an A/B test across six products and three communication channels. It delivered around a 1% increase in NPV and has been put into commercial operation.

"When we prepare a banking offer, one of the main questions is who to tell about it. People have different financial goals, and they change over time. To forecast response more accurately, it is important to account for how a person uses banking services," noted Ivan Kuzmin, Vice President and Director of the Data and Recommendation Systems Department for B2C at Sberbank.

According to him, the new model makes it possible to rely on this context when working with different products and to choose more precisely who should receive a message. That way, a customer is more likely to learn about a product that will be useful to them.
