Executive Summary

Overall client satisfaction scores remain low in U.S. commercial banking relative to other banking segments and other industries. These more modest ratings are driven by a range of factors, including burdensome KYC requirements, high RM turnover, and inconsistent levels of support following the COVID-19 crisis and PPP process.
