Universities for a student account campaign

What it does

Before the academic year: universities in your cities with how many young people live around each, and the bank branches near, ranked for a student account campaign.

In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Chennai and Bangalore, find universities and colleges in the area, count who lives around, count the banks within 1 km of each, work out new fields, sort them by young and keep the top 20, then email the list to you.

Why it is useful

Students choose their first bank at university. The campaign goes where they are.

Who it is for

Banks, lenders & insurance. Banks, lenders, insurers and payment companies finding merchants, checking risk and planning branches. Every use case for banking & lending

Best use cases

• A retail bank
• A digital bank
• A student card issuer

What each run gives you

• An email

The time it saves

Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 120 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 2 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 8 blocks.
