Overview

The Projected Discretionary Funds insight is a schedule-trigger insight that projects the discretionary funds available for the current month. Discretionary funds are funds available for the user to spend, calculated taking into account all the predicted income, predicted expense, and current available balance for the account.

The Predicted Cash Flow feature should be enabled as a pre-requisite for this insight.

Following are the additional details for the insight:

Insight Name PROJECTED_DISCRETIONARY_FUNDS
Applicable Entity ACCOUNT
Insight Type OTHER
Trigger Type SCHEDULE
Supported Container BANK

Use Cases

    • Cross-Sell / Up-Sell opportunity - Prompt users to move money extra money to any of the FI's investment offerings.
  • User:
    • Financial discipline - Know how much the users can spend on wants.

Suggested Action

Depending on the discretionary funds available, suggest suitable short-term investment options that might fetch higher returns.

Duplicate Insight Checks

To prevent the same insight from generating repeatedly, the insight is generated once per frequency cycle for each of the applicable entity ID.

Following is the applicable frequency for this insight:

Frequency Description
MONTHLY The insight will be triggered once on the first day of the calendar month. Duplicate check will evaluate if the insight instance that matches the duplicate check criteria exists for the current calendar month (1st of the calendar month to the last day of the month).
For example:
  • Normal scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, the insight is triggered on 1st January.
  • Dynamic trigger scenario: If the calendar month starts from 1st January to 31st January, and the user triggers an insight on 3rd January using dynamic trigger, duplicate check happens from 1st January to 3rd January.

Insight Dynamic Trigger (On-Demand Evaluation)

The insight can be triggered using the following on-demand insight trigger API:

GET Insight Feeds

The GET insights feed API retrieves all or a subset of the valid insight notifications generated for a particular user. However, using the insightName filter, you can specifically request for the Projected Discretionary Funds insight. The insight will be generated only if the discretionaryBalance is greater than 0.

Calculation Logic for Derived Attributes:

  • balancePlaceholder =
    • Available balance, if available balance > 0
    • Balance, if available balance = 0 or not available & balance > 0
    • Available balance, if available balance = balance = 0
  • predictedBalance = balancePlaceholder + predictedIncomepredictedExpense
    where
    • predictedIncome = Sum of all predicted income for the duration
    • predictedExpense = Sum of all predicted expenses for the duration
  • discretionaryBalance = predictedBalance + Adjustment Factor
    where Adjustment Factor is calculated using following steps:
    1. Identify the debitTotal for each of the last six months
    2. Identify how many months(N) have debitTotal > 0
      • If N = 0, set adjustment factor = 0
      • If N >= 1, take the sum of all debitTotal and divide by N; consider this as averageDebitTotal
        • Calculate difference = averageDebitTotal - predictedExpense
          • If difference = 0, set adjustment factor = 0
          • If difference > 0, set adjustment factor = difference
          • If difference < 0, set adjustment factor = 0

Method and URL:

GET   /insights/feed

Header Parameters:

Key Value
Authorization Client credentials-based authorization Bearer {{Access Token}}
API key-based authentication Bearer {{JWT Token_Customer}}
