Customer retention is critical for banking profitability, with predictive analytics enabling proactive identification of customers likely to churn. Machine learning models analyze transaction patterns, service usage, and customer interactions to predict attrition risk. Banks can then implement targeted retention strategies including personalized offers, improved service delivery, and proactive customer outreach. Sentiment analysis of customer communications reveals satisfaction levels, while propensity modeling identifies cross-selling opportunities. This article explores the data science techniques powering customer retention analytics, including survival analysis, classification algorithms, and time-series forecasting. We examine implementation strategies, key performance indicators, and case studies demonstrating how predictive analytics transforms customer relationship management in banking.
