FICO® Member Score: Market Segmentation
“How To” Use Case #4 — Credit Union Penny

Case Study
How do you effectively and efficiently cater to your many members in a way that aligns with your business objectives if most of their data is unavailable or unusable?
Credit Union Penny is a mid-size credit union that’s having trouble making effective segmentations within its member base, which is resulting in lost revenue and unhappy members. It has tried to segment its portfolio before, but ended up losing money because it failed to take all the relevant factors into account.
Credit Union Penny needs a digital solution that helps improve its market segmentation process so it can increase member satisfaction and retention. Market segmentation (also referred to as “customer segmentation” in banking) is an approach that involves dividing a large and diverse market into smaller groups of related functions that are similar in certain ways and relevant to the marketing of a credit union’s products and services.1 There are several challenges when it comes to segmentation, including:
- Lack of data
- Bad data quality
- Segmentations that don’t align with business goals
However, all of these issues can be addressed by utilizing FICO® Member Score to drive the market segmentation process.
