USAA Tops 2018 US Customer Experience Index in Four Industries
June 20, 2018
SAN ANTONIO – USAA was once again recognized as providing the leading customer experience for credit card issuers, auto/home insurers, direct banks and direct brokerages[1]. The rankings are from Forrester’s The US Customer Experience Index, 2018, released today. In addition, USAA had four of the five highest scores for any brand in 2018.
According to Forrester, the CX Index measures how well a brand’s customer experience strengthens the loyalty of its customers. For the 2018 CX Index, Forrester surveyed more than 110,000 US adults. Of note, Forrester found that “how an experience makes customers feel has a bigger influence on their loyalty to a brand than effectiveness or ease in every industry.” The report goes on to say that elite brands, like USAA, provided “an average of 22 emotionally positive experiences for each negative experience.”
“We value and appreciate the trust and loyalty members show us each day,” said USAA CEO Stuart Parker. “Serving their needs and helping plan for their financial future is what all USAA employees wake up each morning with a passion to do.”
As an example of its commitment to the member experience, USAA has invested heavily in innovation and human centered design, particularly in our mobile and digital channels. Earlier in June, USAA’s mobile app recently ranked highest in both functionality and user experience among the large US banks evaluated in The Forrester Banking Wave™: US Mobile Apps, Q2 2018, with its app noted as “best in class” across seven categories: money management, marketing and sales, money movement, self-service features, search and navigation, content, and progress and workflow.
More information on USAA and its member experience can be found in its annual Report to Members.
