The overall ranking is based on three central questions capturing the three dimensions for accessing customers’ satisfaction:
- How likely are you (on a scale of 1 to 10) to recommend your bank to a friend or relative?
- Do you think your bank is transparent about the pricing of the services it provides you?
- Do you feel like you are being taken advantage of by your bank?
The intermediary overall score for each bank is constructed as follows:
1- For the first question: the arithmetic average score for the willingness to recommend the bank to friends and relatives is computed for each bank and then is divided by 10. The statistic is between 0 and 1.
2- For the second question: the proportion of “Yes” answers among respondents for each bank is computed. This statistic is between 0 and 1.
3- For the third question: the proportion of “No” answers among respondents for each bank is computed. This statistic is between 0 and 1.
A weighted average of the three statistics is computed with the weights of ½, ¼ and ¼ for the first, the second and the third statistics respectively. This statistic is between 0 and 1. The final overall statistic for each bank is weighted by the bank’s proportion of respondents within the overall survey random sample. This last weighting is to correct for small representativeness bias as the number of respondents by bank is not balanced, and another assumption is that these proportions of respondents represent market shares which in turn implicitly inform on clients’ relative appreciation of the quality of the services offered by all commercial banks in the market. This final customers’ satisfaction index is between 0 and 1, and can be represented in percentage terms between 0 and 100%.
