Abstract
In the highly competitive banking industry, personalization has emerged as a crucial strategy for improving customer retention. By leveraging advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems, banks can deliver tailored services that meet individual customer needs. As customers increasingly expect relevant and timely interactions, banks that prioritize personalization are better positioned to meet these expectations and secure long-term growth. Studies indicate that effective personalization can lead to a 10-15% increase in sales conversion rates and a 20-30% boost in customer satisfaction. This article explores the importance of personalization in banking, identifies key objectives, reviews existing literature, and presents findings from recent studies and methodologies. The analysis highlights the challenges and opportunities of implementing personalization strategies and concludes with actionable recommendations for banks to enhance customer loyalty and long-term engagement. The paper provides insights from industry reports, real-life case studies, and interviews with banking professionals, presenting a comprehensive understanding of how personalization shapes the banking landscape.
