In spite of all the bad press banks have received in the last several years, the customer experience scores for the industry compare favorably to many other industries. Out of the 18 industries in the Temkin survey, Banks have the fifth highest average experience score (tied with Hotels). Banks have the greatest range of scores, from a low of 51 (Citibank) to a high of 80 (“a credit union”). Overall the industry rates well, but there is a wide range of performance and ample room for improvement.
The Temkin Experience Ratings are based on consumer feedback of their recent interactions with companies. They asked consumers to rate three components of the experience, Functional, Accessible, and Emotional, on a 7-point scale. For each component, they take the percentage of consumers that gave a rating of 6 or 7 and subtract the percentage that gave a rating of 1, 2, or 3. This results in a “net goodness” rating for each of the three components. The overall Temkin Experience Rating is an average of the three “net goodness” percentages.
