Malaysia Building Society Berhad (MBSB) has enhanced its data mining solution with SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler, from the leader in business analytics software and services, to gain more precise insights about customers to create better products and services. MBSB invested a total of RM1.4 Million for SAS Credit Scoring which was purchased in 2005 and upgraded its Data Mining solution which comes with Rapid Predictive Modeler when they moved to higher capacity server. MBSB is one of earliest adopters of SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler since its release late last year.
“This is an upgrade to MBSB’s existing predictive analytics and data mining solution – SAS Enterprise Guide and SAS Enterprise Miner – implemented in 2005,” said Dato’ Ahmad Zaini Othman, CEO of MBSB. “Back then, it was aimed for holistic reporting, to address high nonperforming loans (NPLs). Now, we are using campaign management and credit scorecard solutions to better measure clients’ behavior and campaign penetration.”
Through intensive product development and new marketing campaigns, MBSB plans to grow its retail assets –personal financing and home mortgage products – while also establishing a position as a reliable corporate financial provider.

MBSB will capitalize on its strengths as a small financial institution: agile decision-making, personalized customer service, flexibility and fast turnaround time. The company does not plan to compete directly with existing financial players.
“MBSB relies on SAS solutions to realize their corporate objectives, especially assessing and approving good loans via credit risk scorecard for its retail business,” said SAS Managing Director Andrew Tan. “With SAS, MBSB decision makers can execute their business plans effectively and efficiently. The new SAS Rapid Predictive Modeler solution will help MBSB uncover unknown patterns, opportunities and insights to drive proactive, evidence-based decision making.”
MBSB recently introduced an array of new products, such as the MBSB Ultimate, Bijak Malaysia (Bancassurance) and the Cheeky Savings Account, to tap into under-penetrated markets, such as young professionals just beginning their careers and requiring reliable financial advice.
