With increasing competition in the business world, many companies use data mining techniques to determine the level of customer loyalty. The customer data used in this study is the german credit dataset obtained from UCI. Such data have an imbalance problem of class because the amount of data in the loyal class is more than in the churn class. In addition, there are some irrelevant attributes for customer classification, so attributes selection is needed to get more accurate classification results. One classification algorithm is naive bayes. Naive Bayes has been used as an effective classification for years because it is easy to build and give an independent attribute into its structure. The purpose of this study is to improve the accuracy of the Naive Bayes for customer classification. SMOTE and genetic algorithm do for improving the accuracy. The SMOTE is used to handle class imbalance problems, while the genetic algorithm is used for attributes selection. Accuracy using the Naive Bayes is 47.10%, while the mean accuracy results obtained from the Naive Bayes with the application of the SMOTE is 78.15% and the accuracy obtained from the Naive Bayes with the application of the SMOTE and genetic algorithm is 78.46%.
