Their Challenge

Cross-sell programs that were high-friction and low-impact.

The bank's cross-sell programs were high-friction and low-impact. Manual outreach, generic product pushes, and reactive marketing meant customers were often offered loans they didn't need—or worse, missed offers when they actually did.

The bank also faced a deeper structural issue: new product launches were bound to a slow and expensive process. Launching even a basic loan product involved coordinating with external developers, compliance consultants, and integration vendors.

Their core didn't support iterative product design or behavioral segmentation. And again, like most cores, it treated each account in isolation—obscuring the full financial lifecycle of the customer behind it.

Our Solution

CLARA AI and Nucleus BankOS delivered intelligent, behavioral lending in real-time.

ADAPFIN deployed CLARA AI + Nucleus BankOS Product Builder to transform how the bank identified opportunities, built products, and delivered personalized experiences to customers at exactly the right moment.

• Behavioral AI Mapping

ADAPFIN's CLARA AI began by analyzing transaction-level data across all accounts at the customer level—not just account balances or credit pulls. It identified patterns such as regular deposits, stable monthly expenses, and predictable bill pay behavior that suggested financial stability—ideal signals for personalized credit opportunities.

• Predictive Product Fit

CLARA grouped these customers into data-driven personas and simulated adoption likelihood across various product types. The system generated tailored loan constructs—term length, line flexibility, rate personalization—and risk-adjusted them using internal and external behavioral datasets.

• Self-Contained Product Development

Rather than relying on developers or third-party vendors, the bank's product team built the new "Flex Line" product directly within the Nucleus no-code builder. In just 18 days, they had configured, tested, and approved the product—with risk, compliance, and CX teams involved throughout the process via shared workflows.

• Precision Delivery

Once live, CLARA deployed offers in real time, triggered by behavioral conditions—not batch campaigns. Customers received relevant offers in-app and via SMS exactly when their behavior indicated openness or need.
