Financial Services in the US
Despite last wave's glum readings for USAA Bank, this wave sees the bank turn it around with a +2 point score increase in its Overall Customer Effort Score and score boosts across all four pillars.
As a result, the bank is joint 2nd position with Chase Bank and Citi.
Its increase is likely based on its response to scams reported last December. While it's difficult to determine whether there’s any direct correlation, its Speed of Resolving the Problem pillar went up +3 points to 64. More than half of its customers (53%) rated it ‘excellent’ for how they were able to resolve their issue, with the first agent they contacted and 46% said how ‘excellent’ it was to find the information they wanted on the website/app.
