HAVING a range of choices when it comes to where, when and how to bank hasn't always led to happier banking experiences for the Singapore customer. But that choice - which necessarily implies competition for the banks - last year led the banking sector to attain a record level of customer satisfaction.
The banking sector's Customer Satisfaction Index of Singapore (CSISG) score rose 4.1 per cent to 72.2 points in 2014 - its highest in the index's eight years. This also beat the national score of 71.1.
