All four pillars have dropped for Alex in the most recent quarter, despite being named in Forbes’ World’s Best Banks list in April, with its Overall Effort Score declining by -6 to 53.
While last quarter saw it add +17 points to its Style of Communication, this might have been short lived as it drops -4 points to 57. More specifically, the Australian bank’s customers mark the business down for both its agents' politeness and ability to communicate with them in their chosen language (other than English). For the politeness factor, only 37% said it was ‘good’ compared to last quarter’s 41%. The bank’s ability to communicate with its customers in their chosen language dropped by 6% to 39%.
The bank's customers have marked down each of the remaining pillars, too. Knowledge and Expertise has dropped by -5 points to 53, Speed of Resolving Problems has dropped by -6 to 50 and Valuing the Customer has gone from 63 to 55.
