Common questions

Where do everyday banking households concentrate?

What does high-fit mean for everyday banking?

A score of 62 or higher, the top 10% of U.S. households for this segment. Qualified (score 57 or higher) is the top 25%. These are percentile cuts across all scored households, not a count of households that need the product.

Is the everyday banking score Fair Lending qualified?

It uses no race, sex, age, marital status, familial status or public-assistance inputs, no fields that stand in for them, and no credit bureau data. It is not a credit decision. Zip-level targeting should still get a disparate-impact review before media or offer allocation.

How the score is built

Each household's everyday banking score (0 to 100) is 60% its own household fields (income range 33%, homeownership 33%, digital activity 25%, home value 8%) and 40% Fair Lending qualified statistics for its zipcode from Census ACS 2024 5-year, IRS SOI 2022 ZIP data, each converted to a national percentile. State and zip indexes compare an area's average score with the U.S. average (100).

How it is confirmed

Every scored file carries a fixed 10% holdout. Campaign results are compared with the holdout at the same score cutoffs, and the difference is reported as lift. Weights are refined against campaign response and booking data as it accumulates.

What it is not

The score is not a credit decision and uses no credit bureau data. It excludes race, sex, age, marital status, familial status and receipt of public assistance, and any field that stands in for them. Zip-level targeting should still get a disparate-impact review before media or offer allocation.
