Member Attrition Prediction for Credit Union
Purpose of the Project The purpose of this project was to develop a predictive machine learning model to identify credit union members who were at risk of leaving. By analyzing historical member data, transaction behavior, and engagement patterns, the model enabled the credit union to take proactive retention actions, reduce churn, and improve long-term member relationships.

Project Overview

Collected and analyzed historical member data including transactions, product holdings, balances, loans, and service usage over a defined time period.
Built a predictive attrition model using machine learning techniques to classify members into Retained, At-Risk, and Churned segments.
Performed feature engineering to identify behavioral patterns impacting member churn.
Developed an interactive Power BI dashboard to monitor attrition trends and highlight key drivers influencing member exit.

Key Responsibilities

1. Data Processing & Feature Engineering
Extracted, cleaned, and transformed data related to:
Transaction frequency and monetary value
Average and declining account balances
Loan activity and repayment behavior
Digital and branch engagement frequency
Created meaningful features such as:
Engagement score
Product depth per member
Balance volatility indicators
2. Predictive Modeling
Trained and evaluated machine learning models to predict member attrition.
Identified high-risk members using propensity scoring.
Optimized model performance using accuracy, precision, recall, and ROC metrics.
3. Insights & Visualization
Designed a Power BI dashboard showcasing:
Overall attrition rate
At-risk member distribution
Key churn drivers
Monthly and product-level attrition trends
4. Business Impact
Enabled targeted retention campaigns for high-risk members.
Improved decision-making for relationship managers and marketing teams.
Helped reduce churn and increase member lifetime value.
