Identifying potential millennial customers for financial institutions using SVM

In order to survive in this complex economic business environment with fierce competition among various players of the finance sector, the need is to understand the even more complex financial behaviour of the customers. We apply the support vector machine classifier, a machine learning algorithm to construct a nonlinear model which classifies the customers into good and bad class based on their respective positive and negative saving behaviour. With the help of web-based survey, a sample of urban banking millennial was collected and preprocessed to apply the support vector machine classifier technique. Pattern recognition from data and its prediction for the financial behaviour are based on the machine learning forecasts. Moreover, the comparative analysis of the weightage of the three attributes, namely income level, financial literacy and behavioural characteristic, is carried out and it is analysed for the savings/wealth accumulation of the millennial generation to understand the financial distress among the said generation in context.
