Abstract

Under the dual challenges of fintech evolution and digital transformation, commercial banks face increasing limitations in traditional marketing prediction methods, which struggle with static customer profiling, low data utilization, and poor adaptability to real-time demands. This study addresses these gaps by proposing an XGBoost-based predictive framework to enhance precision marketing and risk-adjusted returns in banking scenarios. We integrate multidimensional features, including static attributes (e.g., age, occupation) and dynamic behavioral indicators (e.g., consumer confidence index, Euribor rates), to overcome the unidimensional profiling limitations of conventional approaches. Methodologically, XGBoost demonstrates superior performance through three innovations: firstly efficient handling of high-dimensional sparse data via parallel computing, reducing marginal processing costs while improving prediction accuracy (89% accuracy, 90% AUC). Secondly, mitigation of information asymmetry by synthesizing transactional, social, and macroeconomic features (e.g., employment variation rate, housing loans). Comparative analyses against five benchmark models (GBDT, Random Forest, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression, Bagging) confirm XGBoost’s dominance in AUC and F1-score, validating its capacity to resolve nonlinear interactions and temporal sensitivity in marketing campaigns. The model’s scalability enables cost-effective targeting. This research contributes to both algorithmic optimization in financial marketing and operational decision-making frameworks, though limitations persist in handling extreme class imbalances. Future work will explore hybrid architectures combining XGBoost with deep learning for cross-channel behavioral modeling.
