Importance: the article examines the behavioral profile of a commercial bank’s client, which is a set of characteristics that describe his financial preferences, his reactions to market incentives, and his digital footprints. Purpose: to formalize the concept of concept drift in relation to banking models of machine learning with the distinction between real and virtual types of drift, expressed in the change in the joint distribution of training data over time. Research design: the application of the quasi-hyperbolic specification of the Leibson model as a discounting model is substantiated. The model parameter is proposed as a feature estimated by the client’s transactional data and associated with the level of his financial stress. A four-level concept of the adaptive behavioral profile of the client is built on the basis of a combination of methodologies of neoclassical theory, behavioral economics and institutional constraints. Results: on the basis of the proposed concept, a three-component hybrid architecture of the model is substantiated, including clustering of the customer base, predictive models differentiated by business goals, and interpretation of forecasts.
