Customer Satisfaction on Banking Channels
Abstract
Satisfaction with banking services is an area of growing interest to researchers and managers.This research examined the survey responses of 120 bank customers who provided information regarding their satisfaction towards financial distribution channels with respect to their banks. The study found that there were distinctive segments within the financial market that had significantly different levels of usage of financial distribution channels. Financial customers’ satisfaction with Mobile banking, automated teller machines, credit cards, debit cards, internet banking was investigated, and this information was used to determine if relationships exist between customer satisfaction and the usage of financial distribution channels. Systematic methodology, including design and validation of questionnaire and factor analysis were used to enhance the reliability of the findings. Further results and implications of the study for financial services are addressed.
