Tangerine tops J.D. Power client satisfaction study for the 12th year in a row with its biggest win to date!

Twelve Years Proud: Tangerine Bank achieves the highest customer satisfaction score among midsize banks in the J.D. Power 2023 Canada Retail Banking Satisfaction Study.

TORONTO, ONTARIO, October 25, 2023 – For the 12th consecutive year, Tangerine Bank topped the J.D. Power 2023 Canada Retail Banking Satisfaction Study, securing the highest score amongst all midsize banks. The win for this year includes Tangerine coming out on top as the most trusted midsize bank and also means that Tangerine is the most awarded bank in client satisfaction among midsized retail banks.

This award celebrates the Bank’s unwavering commitment to simplifying banking, helping their clients bank how and when they want, and enabling Canadians to make the most of their hard-earned money.

Tangerine was the only bank in Canada to make year-over-year gains in all categories, widening their lead in overall customer satisfaction by a whopping 14 points!

Tangerine’s win is driven by year over year gains in all seven categories including:

• Client trust
• Helping Clients save time and money
• Allowing Clients to bank how and when they want
• Account offerings that meet Client needs
• Digital channels—website, mobile app

“This is the most exciting win Tangerine has had in our 12-year run. To be the only bank to increase our satisfaction score in all seven categories this year—and to specifically be ranked

#1 in the Client trust category—is incredible. What makes this award even more meaningful is that it’s based on the feedback and experiences of our Clients,” says Gillian Riley, President and CEO of Tangerine Bank. “Team Tangerine comes to work every day to make a difference for our Clients and never settles for ‘good enough’”.

Tangerine attributes the win to a persistent focus on simplification, automation and innovation.

A few highlights:

• Contact Centre improvements: Tangerine strives to exceed our Clients’ expectations, and our Contact Centre aims to respond quickly and with clear solutions.
• Helping Clients sleep well: Privacy and security are among Tangerine’s highest priorities – all Clients are protected with the Tangerine Security Guarantee.
• Many ways to save: Tangerine has a wide range of products designed to help Clients save including the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card and a limited time 6.00% Savings rate by simply opening their first eligible Savings Account within 30 days of becoming a Client.*
• Mobile innovation: Tangerine continues to refine and improve its mobile experience, with a focus on improving app speed and introducing new capabilities, making the in-app experience even easier to use.
• Moving our cities forward: In 2023, Tangerine launched partnerships with Bike Share Toronto and BIXI in Montreal, whose programs are designed to help get our busiest cities unstuck.
• Uncomplicated banking: Tangerine provides simplified banking solutions, tools and support -- including no unfair fees, great rates and easy-to-use resources.
