After the exercise, HDFC Bank emerged as India's No. 1 bank. The survey did not measure financial performance, ignoring balance sheets and P&L statements in favour of customer opinion. Customers were asked to rate banks on overall recommendation and satisfaction, as well as 5 key attributes or ‘sub-dimensions’ of trust, terms and conditions, customer service, digital service and financial advice.
Commenting on the Forbes magazine's survey findings Aditya Puri, MD, HDFC Bank said, “We are extremely humbled to be ranked No. 1 by the customers,” adding, “Our customer has always been at the heart of everything we do since we set out to create a ‘World-Class Indian Bank 25 years ago. On behalf of all my colleagues, I would like to thank each and every customer for reposing their trust in us through the years.”
Survey methodology: Statista surveyed more than 40,000 customers around the globe for their opinions on their current and former banking relationships. Between 5 and 60 banks were identified as top banks in each country, based on the total evaluations collected, the number of banks in the specific country and the scores achieved.
