Custom Spend Attributes — Build Your Own Transaction Logic

By Editorial Team
15th December 2025

Quick Overview

Banks can now create their own custom spend attributes and use them across any eligibility or reward rule. This removes engineering dependence and enables more contextual, business-aligned campaign logic.

What does it solve

Card, payments, and merchant teams frequently rely on behavioural attributes that fall outside the standard transaction schema, making them difficult to use in offers or targeting. Previously, introducing new attributes required schema changes, engineering bandwidth, and data pipeline updates, slowing GTM by weeks.

With Custom Spend Attributes, banks can instantly extend their transaction model, map data from ingestion pipelines, and use these fields to design targeted offers.

This ensures zero engineering dependency so teams can deploy campaigns quickly and independently.

Key Features

  • Configurable Transaction Schema: Add custom fields (string, number, boolean) on demand.
  • Flexible Mapping: Map fields from raw feed → Hyperface standard transaction → custom variables.
  • Rule Builder Support: Use custom attributes in eligibility, reward rules, caps, and logic.
  • Multi-system Availability: Same variables accessible across Offers, Nudges, Journeys, and Analytics.
  • Validation & Governance: Field type checks, naming conventions, and audit trails.
  • Backfill Support: Ingest historical values to ensure accurate benefits computation.

How does it work?

  1. Create a new custom variable from the dashboard.
  2. Map incoming fields from the bank’s feed.
  3. Use the variable directly in rule builders across campaigns.
  4. (Optional) Backfill historical values for reward accuracy.
