Lapsed borrowers already know your brand — they just need a nudge.

The Borrower Lifecycle

Where dormancy begins

Active

Onboard

First loan. KYC, disbursal, early engagement.

Completed

Repay

Loan closure. Final EMI paid, account settled.

Lapsing

Silent

3–12 months. No product activity, score improving.

At risk

Dormant

12+ months. Churn risk, competitor intent.

Win-back

Re-engage

CDP-triggered personalized journey.

The 5-Step Win-Back Playbook

Identify, score, personalize, orchestrate, optimize

1

Identify

Segment lapsed borrowers by recency, loan type, repayment behaviour and credit score changes. Build tiered audiences: 3–6 months, 6–12 months, 12+ months lapsed.

2

Score

Use CDP propensity models to rank re-engagement likelihood. Prioritize borrowers with improved credit scores or recent positive income signals.

3

Personalize

Short-term lapsers get a rate loyalty offer; long-term lapsers a pre-approved credit refresh; high-value borrowers relationship manager outreach.

4

Orchestrate

Deploy omnichannel sequences across push, email, SMS and in-app. Suppress already-converted users in real time to avoid fatigue.

5

Optimize

Track open rates, click-through, re-application rates and funded loans. Run A/B tests on offer type, message timing and channel selection.
