We recently released the 2014 Temkin Experience Ratings that ranks the customer experience of 268 companies across 19 industries based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. consumers.

Regions and credit unions earned an 81% rating—only narrowly overtaking USAA and TD Bank—and tied for 8^th place overall out of 268 companies across 19 industries. Credit unions scored the highest rating in both 2012 and 2013, while Regions earned the top spot in 2011. At the other end of the spectrum, HSBC received the lowest rating for any of the 16 banks for the second year in a row, landing in 226^th place overall with a 56% rating. Fifth Third also tumbled down the rankings from its “good” rating in 2013 to have the second lowest score in the banking industry.
