Defining traits

Traits are behavioral attributes of online banking end users that you want to target in a campaign. Traits can be based on several different aspects of a user's financial history.

Traits can be used as building blocks to create audiences as simple or complex as you need. Types of traits in SMART include:

  • Internal products—traits based on products and features used by end users at your FI.
  • External products—traits based on products and features used by end users at other FIs.
  • Your FI must have purchased Contextual PFM in order for you to access the External products tab.
  • Online features—traits based on online banking interactions and features used.
  • Insights—traits that give additional insight into your account holders.
  • If your FI has purchased SMART Surveys, you can select traits based on survey results in the Insights tab.
  • Custom audiences—traits based on audiences you have imported. For more information on custom audiences, see Creating a custom audience.
