To find the best bank in preferred banking offer
Research Methodology:
Step 1 The factors that affect the choice of preferred bankers in banks are identified
Step 2 Those factors are then referred to the respective banks and are rated from 1 5
For example if we think that SBIs trustworthiness in maximum it is given 5, if its least it is
given 1
Research Steps:
PHASE 1 A sample size of 10 preffered customers was taken and they were asked about
what they like most about their bank.
And these four were the most common answers that were chosen.
PHASE 2 - Sample size of 10 was extremely small to make a comment on banks rating and
hence a 50 customers were surveyed and asked to rank the banks on various factors.
An average of the ranks relating to every factor was taken and following matrix was obtained
SBI Axis HDFC Citibank ICICI

Above chart depicts the perception of customers regarding the banks considered in terms of
Customer Service and trustworthiness. The observations from the chart were following
SBI is the most trustworthy bank in India among the banks considered which may be due
to the everlasting trust on Public sector Banks that Indian consumer has always had.
However these Public sector banks lag in the customer service as depicted.
The private sector banks rank somewhere same in the customer preference but there is
some difference in terms of HDFC Bank and others.
Final Inference HDFC Bank is best in terms of customer service and one of the most reliable
bank in terms of reliability.



42 | P a g e



















The following observations were made:
SBI is the least convenient bank in terms of service
HDFC is believed to provide the best service near to ICICI
SBI has a wide product range but because of the poor customer service their products are
not known.
HDFC and ICICI have the best product range and most transparent information available

From the both charts and research done we can infer that HDFC is one of the best banks for
preferred banking customers.
