A Segment is a group of Accounts that share a characteristic, such as a product tier or a customer type. Financial institutions use Segments to apply tailored rules, services, and conditions to each group. Each Segment has a Segment ID, a unique identifier. Financial institutions use this ID to track and manage each Segment.

Examples

  • Black or diamond (Cards): a premium group of card accounts for customers who want exclusive benefits.

  • Student account (Banking Accounts): a group of banking accounts for students.
    • Included benefits: no account fees, cashback on education purchases, and discounts on cinemas and events.
