Scenario

U+ Bank has recently completed a pilot project where customers see a single offer, the Standard card offer, when they log in to their account page on the bank website.

The business team now wants to introduce three more credit card offers and implement some engagement policies to ensure that the customers get only tailored relevant offers.

Following Pega best practices, the business team has classified the engagement policies into three groups:

  • Eligibility rules, which are strict rules representing what it is possible to offer.
  • Applicability rules, which represent business practices that limit what to offer based on a customer’s current situation. These are not as strict as eligibility rules.
  • Suitability rules, which represent what the business should and should not do ethically and empathetically. These are the least strict rules.

Some of the criteria apply to the entire Credit Card group, and some apply to specific actions. Here are the detailed requirements:

Action Type Condition: Customer…
All credit cards Eligibility is a valid U+ Bank customer
All credit cards Eligibility is at least 18 years or older
All credit cards Applicability does not have a credit card
Standard & Rewards Eligibility has recently onboarded
Rewards Plus & Premier Rewards Suitability has a credit score greater than 400
