"There are other awards that recognize strong customer satisfaction," said Joe Hagan, Senior Vice President of multi-client programs at TNS and Manager of the TNS Choice Awards. "While customer satisfaction is important, banks that succeed in the marketplace do more than just satisfy customers. To have success, firms need to excel at many factors including value offered, convenience provided, reputation, clarity of advertising, and quality of products. We've developed a program that distinguishes these winners in the competitive marketplace."
