Abstract

The quality of service is one of the most important criteria, which lead to the satisfaction of customers, which in turn leads to customer loyalty to the bank. The study aims at examining the impact of customer quality of services determinants on the level of customer satisfaction in private and public sector banks in India. Out of five quality of services determinants reliability, responsiveness and tangibility are found to be more important. Previous researches indicate that customers’ perceptions and expectations of customer services are more probable to be diverse across service sectors. By identifying and plugging the gap between the expected quality and actual quality of services, customer satisfaction can be vastly improved.
