Frequently Asked Questions

How does iTuring's growth AI comply with POPIA's requirements for direct marketing and personalisation?
POPIA Section 69 restricts direct marketing to persons who have provided consent or are existing customers with opt-out rights. iTuring’s personalisation engine maintains per-customer consent records, enforces suppression lists, and logs every outreach with its lawful basis, satisfying POPIA and the NCR’s direct marketing requirements under the NCA.
Yes. iTuring’s Net New Money (NNM) models identify customers with genuine new capital to place, not balance transfers, using 25,000 behavioural and financial features. SA banks have used NNM models to target the right customers at the right rate, producing measurable new deposit growth within 90 days.
POPIA requires that personal information only be processed for the specific purpose for which it was collected. iTuring’s feature lineage tracks which data sources are used in each personalisation model, enabling DPOs to demonstrate that all processing is within the scope of the original consent or lawful basis.
Yes. King IV principles require board accountability for ethical and responsible AI use. iTuring’s governance layer provides maker-checker approvals, model inventory, and portfolio-level risk dashboards that give senior leadership and board committees visibility over all growth and retention models in production.
Yes. iTuring’s upsell models are constrained by affordability guardrails — the platform does not recommend credit product upsells to customers who would not pass an NCA Section 81 affordability assessment. This prevents reckless credit extension and supports TCF outcomes for the FSCA.
Yes. Digital usage and product mix indicators highlight fintech‑switch risk.
Cross‑sell offers are generated within suitability constraints and logged with rationales.
Yes. Consent status is checked before each communication and stored for audit.
Control groups and campaign analytics show churn saved and NNM generated by interventions.
Yes. Segment‑specific models and rules ensure appropriate treatment across all tiers.
