Jaja Finance Unlocks Smarter Marketing with RudderStack + Snowflake

Company Overview

Jaja Finance is a UK digital lender reimagining credit cards around simplicity and a mobile-first customer experience. As the company scaled, Jaja needed seamless onboarding, personalized engagement, and a modern, reliable data foundation. Wayne Cavanough, CIO/CTO at Jaja Finance, led the implementation with RudderStack to centralize behavioral events from iOS, Android, and web into Snowflake, creating a single, governed source of truth for marketing and product analytics. With clean, validated events flowing in near real time, Jaja reduced friction in the card application journey, sharpened rewards-driven engagement, and fed AI-chat telemetry back into product tuning. The implementation uses RudderStack sources (Android, iOS, JavaScript, HTTP) and destinations (Snowflake, Amazon S3, Braze).

Challenge: Disjointed Data, Delayed Insights

Jaja’s data environment faced significant hurdles that hindered its ability to innovate and execute efficiently. Customer data was fragmented across devices and platforms, making it difficult to form a clear picture of customer journeys. This lack of cohesion limited visibility into critical metrics such as drop-offs, campaign effectiveness, and the development of accurate customer personas. On top of this, Jaja was constrained by legacy systems that could not support real-time decision-making, slowing down the pace of innovation and preventing the company from staying ahead in a competitive market.

Solution: Unified Pipeline with RudderStack and Snowflake

To overcome these challenges, Jaja partnered with RudderStack and Snowflake to modernize its data stack and enable AI-driven marketing strategies. The company centralized event data from iOS, Android, and web platforms into Snowflake, creating a single source of truth that eliminated silos. With this unified foundation, Jaja was able to build comprehensive customer profiles and personas to power targeted and personalized marketing campaigns. By leveraging RudderStack’s SDKs, transformations, and governance features, the team ensured that all data was clean, compliant, and delivered in real time. This modernized pipeline not only streamlined operations but also unlocked new opportunities for smarter, faster decision-making.
