About UPTION

UPTION is a fintech app that enables international money transfers, European account opening, and financial services for users in Turkey and abroad. The platform serves a diverse user base across multiple languages, including Turkish, English, and Arabic. The company prioritizes retention and works to keep users engaged across their full product range.


The Challenge

UPTION identified thousands of users showing early churn signals. These users spoke three different languages and needed consistent re-engagement without overwhelming them or requiring manual effort. The goal was to bring these users back before they fully disengaged.

Unlock the Case Study

01

Reaching the Right Users Before They Disappeared

Step one was to identify who might churn. Predictive segments revealed users whose activity was steadily declining. Reaching them in their language with relevant messaging was step two. The users spoke Turkish, English, or Arabic, so each group needed communication in their own language.

How UPTION solved it

The team used Netmera’s AI-powered churn prediction, trained on six months of user behavior. The system analyzed activity patterns and identified users likely to churn within the next 30 days.

UPTION then segmented this audience by language using their existing customer database and created stable tags to lock in the segment. They launched a time-based journey through Netmera’s Journey Builder, with tailored messaging for each language group.

What changed

The journey drew in 53% of the at-risk (churn) segment. UPTION had identified the right users and reached them at the right moment. This entry rate set the stage for the re-engagement campaign.

02

Building Lasting Engagement With Multi-Touch Messaging

Users needed multiple touchpoints over weeks to rebuild their connection with the app. The challenge was doing this efficiently. Messaging everyone repeatedly would waste effort on users who’d already returned. Manual tracking at this scale wasn’t realistic.

How UPTION solved it

UPTION built a 10-message automated journey. Messages arrived every two to four days, highlighting core value propositions: free international transfers, cashback offers, and cross-border features. The journey used branching logic to stop messaging users who’d already reopened the app. This approach kept the focus on users who still needed a nudge.

What changed

Among users who entered the journey, 22.6% converted by reopening the app. App activity increased by 7.7% during the intensive messaging period compared to the campaign’s initial phase. Re-engaged users averaged 14 app opens, evidence of sustained activity beyond single visits.

Netmera gave us two critical capabilities in one place: AI to predict churn risk and Journeys to automate recovery. We targeted thousands of users in Turkish, English, and Arabic without involving our development team. The 22.6% conversion rate proves the system worked. Better still, app activity increased 7.7% during the intensive campaign period, showing genuine re-engagement.
