What is Big Data? Noun: Big Data refers to extremely large data sets that may be analyzed computationally to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behavior and interactions. Examples: Weather Phone use (GPS location, length of time, age) Twitter feeds (subject matter, timing) Credit card purchases and patterns ATM statistics (time of use, type of transaction, customer profile, etc.) Surveys and studies are they Big Data? OCC Canary Project is using Big Data!
What is Big Data (Continued) Big Data is similar to Transportation The amount of Big Data is increasing almost exponentially There were 5 Exabytes of information created between the dawn of civilization through 2003, but that much information is now created every 2 days. Eric Schmidt, of Google in 2010. (It is now nearly every day in 2015) The hype is that companies (including financial institutions) can use Big Data to gain better insight into relationships and patterns: 1. Buying patterns (by generation, location, income levels, etc.) 2. Use patterns 3. Relationships of data (e.g. weather to buying patterns) 4. Predictive modeling in the near future (if X happens, Y will happen with a degree of certainty
What is Big Data (Continued) Big Data can be numerical or text or documents, etc. Big Data can be public or internal, structured or unstructured Because of its size, Big Data is usually stored in the Cloud Cloud is term to describe servers usually at a third party location stored/computed usually by a third party But Your credit union has Big Data in your shop right now!
Public Big Data (usually in the Cloud ) Internal Big Data (usually on internal servers) Structured Semi-Structured Unstructured Bureau of Labor Statistics Economic Data Interest Rates Commodity Prices Tons of Government Data Census Data Competitive Data Industry Data Twitter Feeds Google reviews of your institution Facebook Comments/Likes Blog Posts Web Pages Budgets ProfitStar and other ALM programs Member Accounts and Activity Internal Statistics (Web hits, ATM transactions, etc.) Loan Applications Most internal spreadsheets Internal reports Memos Most Documents E-Mails Web pages Patterns of Members (applications, open/closed, etc.) Phone records Success of relationship pricing, etc.
Big Data for Financial Institutions Advantage: Financial Institutions have massive amounts of Internal Big Data. Getting to it easily may be an issue Finding Common examples of current use of Big Data at financial institutions: 1. Fraud detection (based on patterns, type, etc.) 2. Trends in delivery channels (ATM s, Call Center, Web/home banking, branches) 3. Marketing and CRM trends (customers, promotion campaigns, loan volume, etc.) 4. Comparing to Peer Groups 5. Predictive modeling in the near future (liquidity, ALM position, etc.) 6. Notice most of this deals with internal data. 7. Does it change your Strategic Thinking? The next step is to go beyond the common uses and combine with External Big Data Better internal to internal External to external Or external to internal Make it meaningful, cost effective, and give you a competitive advantage There is in the data!
Case 1: Internal Pattern Discovery Discoveries from Big Data. 1. Bank discovered there was a major blip in home banking account activity around 2 am 2. Target marketed specific web page and instant message ads about overdraft protection during the time in question 3. Over 400+ sign ups for overdraft protection in a 90 day span 4. Fee income increased $28,000 in the first year 5. Extra bonus discovered by a Gen X employee as a tangent to another project

Discoveries from Big Data. Case 2: Internal to Internal (with backup from External): 1. CU Board of Directors were pressuring management to open a brick and mortar branch in a certain community, and NOT close any branch 2. Management had few statistics to back up their claim that more resources should be devoted to electronic delivery channels AND close the one dead weight branch 3. Gathered internal stats (Big Data) on delivery channel changes. They followed national statistics 4. Taught B of D the external studies on delivery channel changes 5. Opening a much smaller branch and closing one in 2015. Annual savings projected to be $300,000+ in the first year alone. 6. Three year savings over $1,000,000. 7. Part of savings going to electronic delivery channels 8. Internal stats are now part of their normal data gathering
Discoveries from Big Data. Case 3: Internal to External Discovery 1. Credit union wanted to know if there was a correlation between local unemployment or other economic data and various consumer loan applications and approvals. 2. Mortgage, HELOC, Auto (new and used), student, etc. 3. Discovery: Only a partial correlation to Mortgage or HELOC applications or approvals. 4. Autos had a medium/high correlation (inverse relationship). 5. RV and Boat Loans had a high correlation (inverse relationship). 6. They also found when unemployment went up, the effect was more immediate. When unemployment went down, the lag effect was more pronounced. 7. Local unemployment is watched carefully with promotion campaigns ready to go. 8. Discovery: loan sales can be effective when unemployment rises, but only in the beginning of the upslope. 9. Discovery: approval rates can be reasonably predicted by loan type as it relates to unemployment. 10. Discovery: Delinquency by loan type has a certain lag effect as it relates to local unemployment.

How do you know if Big Data can help 1. Remember 95% of External Big Data is useless to the credit union (does NOT change your Strategic Thinking.) 2. Another 3% may be useful, but is very difficult to get, is expensive, and make sense of. 3. Concentrate on the remaining 2%. 4. Ask yourself the top 10 questions you are trying to answer. Involve your management team. What keeps you up at night? First look at Bang for the Buck internal trends. Then internal to internal, and internal to external. Remember time and cost are considerations. 5. Later spreadsheet to help you formulate the questions. 6. It is the questions you don t ask which might get you into trouble or have a lost opportunity.
