The main problem involved here is the proposition of a data-driven segmentation approach in the prevention of the loss of remunerative customers’ acquisition in the digital era’s banking industry. The reason for choosing Kohonen Network is the ability to work on large volumes of data and the most appropriate determination of the cluster number, which is the most important decision for cluster analysis, by the technique itself.
