The issues arising from such a system is the amount of data collected, the operational system in place gathering the data and the quality of that data. For example, in order to precisely identify costs related to a customer the bank should use the activity-based costing methodology, that will assign the costs of all activities of the customer towards the bank (products and services) and assign those costs to the actual consumption of each product and service.
