Abstract
Quality of service is an underestimated asset in this dynamic, contemporary economy, and Polish cooperative (co-op) banks should be managed in such a way to endure and gain competitive advantage. Strong competition from various commercial banks has forced co-op banks into a continual struggle to maintain its clientele. Currently, one of the elements for achieving that competitive ‘edge’ is the quality of customer service. Since the clientele market potential is finite, it seems that building a base of loyal customers becomes more consequential than attracting new clients. This compilation presents surveys pertaining to the degree of customer satisfaction in reference to the quality of instruments and services offered by Poland’s co-op banks. The study is based on a questionnaire presented to bank clients from the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. The analysis presents high levels of satisfaction by service recipients for products offered and service quality in bank locations.
