Personal loans are a lucrative revenue stream for banks. The typical interest rate of a two-year loan in the United Kingdom is around 10%. This might not sound like a lot, but in September 2022 alone UK consumers borrowed around £1.5 billion, which would mean approximately £300 million in interest generated by banks over two years!

You have been asked to work with a bank to clean the data they collected as part of a recent marketing campaign, which aimed to get customers to take out a personal loan. They plan to conduct more marketing campaigns going forward so would like you to ensure it conforms to the specific structure and data types that they specify so that they can then use the cleaned data you provide to set up a PostgreSQL database, which will store this campaign's data and allow data from future campaigns to be easily imported.

They have supplied you with a csv file called "bank_marketing.csv", which you will need to clean, reformat, and split the data, saving three final csv files. Specifically, the three files should have the names and contents as outlined below:

Project Summary

This project involves analyzing a dataset related to bank marketing campaigns. The data is organized into three main dataframes: client, campaign, and economics, which are combined into a comprehensive dataframe called bank_marketing_data. Each dataframe contains specific information about the clients, the marketing campaigns, and economic indicators, respectively.

The primary objective of this project is to analyze the effectiveness of the bank's marketing campaigns by examining various factors such as client demographics, contact details, and economic indicators. This analysis will help in understanding the key drivers of successful campaign outcomes and provide insights for future marketing strategies.
