Retail banking is a 90/10 business: a small share of customers account for almost all of the profit, while most customers hover close to zero. That's not incidental — it's the basic shape of the business.
The problem isn't whether banks know this. It's that most can't act on it with precision. Retention gets measured at the product level, the branch level, the segment level. In other words, everywhere except where it matters most: at the level of the individual customer.
Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) puts a number on exactly where that value sits today: which customers are carrying the business, how their value changes over time, and how to capture more of it.
