New results from Roy Morgan show that the Net Promoter Score levels of Australia’s banks, including the big four banks, have increased significantly since the final report of the Finance Royal Commission was handed down in February 2019. The NPS of the big four banks was 2.1 in July, up 3.7pts since February, and the NPS of banks as a whole was 8.5, up 3.2pts over the last five months. The improvement in NPS scores has returned the measure to a level comparable to that at the time the Finance Royal Commission was established in late 2017. All of the big four banks have improved their NPS since February. The leading big four bank by NPS is the CBA (now on 7.2, up 3.3pts since February). The other three, although improved, were still in negative territory. Teachers Mutual Bank now has the highest NPS of 52.6, up 13.5pts since February. Meanwhile, satisfaction with the big four banks reached 76.1% in July, up by 0.8% points since February, led by increases for the CBA (+1% point), ANZ (+0.9% points) and Westpac (+2.3% points). These are some of the latest findings from Roy Morgan’s ‘Customer Satisfaction report on Consumer Banking in Australia’ and the ‘Financial Institutions Advocacy Report’. These reports are based on in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers per annum in their homes.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 27-Aug-19

New research from Roy Morgan shows that consumers who know what their NBN plan’s ‘typical evening speed’ should be are more satisfied with their provider (78%) than those who do not know (68.1%), according to research conducted in the three months to June 2019. Analysis of the consumer NBN market shows that 49.9% of consumers do not know "What typical evening speed is included in your NBN plan?" Interestingly, this lack of knowledge about speed is not simply because someone may not be the Primary or Joint Fixed Broadband Decision Maker. For the 49.9% of consumers who do not know the ‘typical evening speed’ of their NBN plan a clear majority of 59.8% are either the Primary (25.2%) or Joint (34.6%) Fixed Broadband Decision Maker. There is a clear link between those who do know their NBN speed tier and increased satisfaction with their internet service provider (78.0%). In contrast, just over two-thirds of those who did not know their typical evening speed (68.1%) were satisfied with their internet service provider, a significant difference of 9.9% points.

Michel’s Patisserie has continued its impressive winning streak by securing the Roy Morgan Coffee Shop of the Month Award for June 2019. In doing so, Michel’s Patisserie has established itself as the number one brand when it comes to pleasing their customers. Michel’s Patisserie received a satisfaction rating of 91%, which was a 6% increase from June 2018. It was followed by Donut King (87%), Gloria Jean’s (86%), The Coffee Club (85%) and Muffin Break (85%). Michel’s Patisserie has secured the number one position for a fifth straight month. Its ongoing lead in coffee shop satisfaction ratings has been assisted by a decline in ratings by Donut King, which has slipped 4% over the past twelve months. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says that customer satisfaction is vital in the coffee shop industry because of high competition and easily substitutable goods. She notes if customers aren’t satisfied with their choice of coffee shop or cafe, they will simply walk away and try another.
