What does high-fit mean for wealth & private banking?

A score of 55 or higher, the top 10% of U.S. households for this segment. Qualified (score 43 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 wealth & private 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 wealth & private banking score (0 to 100) is 60% its own household fields (income range 38%, home value 31%, homeownership 15%, digital activity 15%) and 40% Fair Lending qualified statistics for its zipcode from IRS SOI 2022 ZIP data, Census ACS 2024 5-year, 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.
