Personal banking service quality – Great Britain
Independent service quality survey results
Personal current accounts
Date Published: August 2019
These results are from an independent survey carried out between July 2018 and June 2019 by Ipsos as part of a regulatory requirement, and we have published this information at the request of the providers and the Competition and Markets Authority so you can compare the quality of service from personal current account providers. In providing this information, we are not giving you any advice or making any recommendation to you.
Customers with personal current accounts were asked how likely they would be to recommend their provider, their provider’s online and mobile banking services, services in branches and overdraft services to friends and family. The results show the proportion of customers, among those who took part in the survey, of each provider who said they were 'extremely likely' or 'very likely' to recommend each service.
