β
Sign up : customer came to jouney, fill basic detail or KYC
Onboard : took the first loan
Activation : repeat transaction on app
β
β
Reasoning: A new customer who is just signed up and moved from sign up to onboarded to take the first loan , I will not call that customer as an active customer since they just took the first loan and might never come back. For activation , customer atleast has to come to the app regularly which includes the smaller milestone of repayment on app where customer is able to Transaction on the app. Hence atleast 4 transaction on the app - first being the loan taken and 3 more i.e repayment of EMI or taking another loan.
does this metric demostrate user commitment - yes
does the user realise value from product - may be
does this metric affect conversion - yes
β
β
Reasoning: If the customer is able to disburse the full loan journey in less than 12 min, customer will feel very comfortable with the app and most likely will repeat the app
does this metric demostrate user commitment - yes
does the user realise value from product- yes
does this metric affect conversion - Yes
β
Reasoning: A customer who is referring fibe to atleast 3 people within a month time has a higher probability of activation as compared to a customer who just took the loan
does this metric demostrate user commitment - yes
does the user realise value from product - yes
does this metric affect conversion - yes
Reasoning : If a customer is visiting the loan app 4-5 time in a month , high stickiness , than the customer will be retained by the Fibe
β
does this metric demostrate user commitment - yes
does the user realise value from product - no
does this metric affect conversion - yes
Reasoning: A customer who is pre paying the EMI amount understand the system and flexibility available in the system and normally repeats the loans
β
does this metric demostrate user commitment - yes
does the user realise value from product - yes
does this metric affect conversion - yes
Reasoning: If the customer is all digital journey in the flow i.e. digilocker, Account aggregator, UPI NACH , customer experiences a non stop journey which just finishes in a jiffy and that generates an Aha moment for the customer that without any physical document they got loan
does this metric demostrate user commitment - Yes
does the user realise value from product - Yes
does this metric affect conversion - Yes
β
β
Reasoning: It should be opposite of the activation rate where how many customers are dropping off even after getting activated. If my Churn rate is increasing it means customer are liking my product any more and I need to change something to keep them engaged. Ideally churn rate should be what percent of customer are dropping off and not coming back to the app after being activated. Churn will be higher in BNPL Lending , but more than 30% could be an alarm which means I need to fix something
β
β
Reasoning: it is very important metric to monitor how much time a customer is taking in onboarding themselves, time spent on the app excluding the break. If the time to onboarding is high , journey is not customer friendly and customer not come back or recommend it to others
β
β
Reasoning: How many customer are actually buying the product from the top of the funnel, A customer who signed up on the journey and Fibe has also approved the same customer , how many of them are actually end up taking the loan from fibe and not from other.
β
Reasoning: the ideal number should be around 10% DAU to MAU ratio since this is a lending app and customer generally come for loan taken and repayment so it will be low but if increase this by engaging customer \ nudging customer and ratio is moving upwards , which shows higher stickiness , will result in higher repeat loan and higher LTV
β
β
Reasoning: whenever we launch a new feature in the app, how many customer are actually migrating to that feature , for eg : UPI NACH setup , new bank validation method. If the population who is getting oboarded using this new feature has 5% higher signup to onboarding rate , than new feature is a success and helped in increase the activation rate
β
monitoring a customer retention over a period of time since this is a lending app, retention cycle is a longer since a customer who has taken a loan in last 3-5 days have nothnig to do on app, only when they plan to repay or buy something new they will repeat\come to the app again
Monitoring the complete funnel including repeat i.e. out of 100 customer who signed up , how many got onboarded, how many are activated and finally how many are retained \ repeat loans with Fibe
From basic sign up to first Aha moment - customer approved ( limit given) - KYC approved - Bank details- Disbursal

β
Number of product a customer is taking from us is a key metric to make money - normally we dont make money in 1st loan due to CAC and other cost , it is only the 2nd or 3rd ( depending on IRR and other factor) we start making money hence my repeat rate , PPC ( product per customer) is very important which actually helps in calculating LTV of the customer
β Behaviour of the customer in different cohorts is a key metric to follow,
For example :
Understanding the customer ICP and JTBD ( problem the customer is trying to solve), and tearing down the journey of the product , we can say what all needs to be fixed and the same can be tracked using above mentioned metrics if the fixed that we are doing are actually improving the customer experience or no
