Where the choice is made

Customers decide outside the transaction

Data analytics in financial services starts with transaction data, which shows what customers did inside one institution. Their reasons for choosing that institution, what would make them switch, and the rivals near each branch sit in the market around it.

A branch looks like an isolated unit

TRANSACTION VOLUME BRANCH 12 ONE BRANCH, ON ITS OWN CATCHMENTBRANCH RIVAL ATM AGENT RIVALS AND DEPENDENTS COUNTED

Transaction volume treats each branch on its own. The rival branches nearby and the customers who depend on it sit outside that data.

Sena. Sena counts the competing branches, ATMs, and banking agents in a catchment and measures which customer segments depend on each location.

Account data shows who left

ACCOUNT DATA OPENEDMAR STAYED14 MO CLOSEDWHY? WHO LEFT, NOT WHY STATED, WITH CONSENT SWITCHED BECAUSE"LOWER FEES AT A RIVAL" APPBRANCH NEARBY THE REASON, BY SEGMENT

Account and card data show who opened, who stayed, and who closed. The reason a customer chose a rival product sits with the customer.

Sena. Sena captures the stated reasons directly from consumers, consented and zero-party, by segment and market.

Risk models price from a distance

MODELLED FROM A DISTANCE RISK SCORE0.42 PRICED FROM A DISTANCE GEO-VERIFIED EXTERIOR ROOF WEAR DRAINAGE TIED TO CLAIMS HISTORY WHAT THE PROPERTY SHOWS

Credit, claims, and satellite models price risk at scale. Deferred maintenance, drainage, and neighboring conditions show at the property itself.

Sena. Sena captures geo-verified exterior photos across a book of properties and ties each condition to claims history.

Decision 01

Decide which branches to keep, move, or reformat

Sena counts the competing locations in a catchment and measures which customers depend on the branch, then sets each option beside that count.

Decides: Which branches close, relocate, or change format.

How a team checks each figure

Every location figure opens its capture

Sena traces each reading to the capture that produced it, so a team checks each catchment count location by location.

Each branch, ATM, agent, or property reading carries its photo, its location, and its date.

Every answer comes from a person who shared it directly, with explicit consent, and clears a multi-level QA flow before it counts.

Branch decisions

Size the customers a closure risks

A closure plan starts with two shares: the customers ready to bank digitally and the customers who depend on the branch. Sena captures both from consumers in the catchment, beside a count of the competing locations.

  • Competing locations in the catchment, counted
  • Branch-dependent segments, stated by consumers with consent
  • Closure, relocation, and format change set side by side, with the customers at risk

FAQ

Questions financial services teams ask

01 What is financial services analytics?
Financial services analytics is the use of customer, transaction, and market data to decide which products to offer, where to serve customers, and how to price risk. Sena, a Decision AI with access to real-world data, adds consented consumer input and geo-verified photos to the data a bank or insurer already holds.
02 What does financial analytics do?
Analytics for financial services turns account, transaction, and market data into decisions on products, pricing, branches, and risk. Sena extends financial services analytics past internal systems: consumers state why they choose or leave a provider, and photos show the branches, agents, and properties a decision depends on.
03 How do banks use analytics for branch decisions?
Banks use analytics to decide which branches to keep, relocate, reformat, or close. Transaction volume shows use. Sena adds the competing branches, ATMs, and agents in each catchment and the customers who depend on the branch, so a closure plan sizes the attrition it risks.
04 How does Sena help insurers assess property risk?
Sena captures geo-verified exterior photos across a property portfolio, then ties visible conditions such as deferred maintenance, drainage, and nearby hazards to claims history. Underwriting teams see which conditions show up in past claims, and which properties have them.
05 Where does the consumer data come from?
Consumers share it directly through a 5M+ consumer network across 190+ countries, with explicit consent. That is zero-party data. Sena captures it when a question needs it, for the markets and segments the question names.
06 Can Sena help plan entry into a new market?
Yes. Consumers in the target market state their demand, risk tolerance, and appetite for a new card or account, and Sena sets that beside the team's own plan. A card launch starts from the market as it stands.
07 Which systems does Sena connect to for financial services teams?
Sena connects to the systems financial services teams run across 250+ integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, and reads uploaded Excel, CSV, and PDF files. Consumer input and location photos join that data, so one answer covers both.
