SunTrust Receives J.D. Power and Associates Highest Customer Satisfaction Ranking for Business Banking
ATLANTA, Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- SunTrust Banks, Inc. (NYSE: STI) announced today that it ranks Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Small Business Banking in a recent study conducted by J.D. Power and Associates that evaluated the nation's top banks on eight key factors: product offerings, account manager, facility, account information, problem resolution, credit services, fees, and account activities.
According to the study, which was based on more than 6,600 responses from financial decision makers at businesses with sales volume from $100,000 to $10 million, SunTrust performs particularly well in product offerings, account activities and problem resolution. The study was fielded between July and August 2010.
"We are extremely pleased with this distinction from J.D. Power and Associates -- -- we know that business owners want a financial partner who understands the complexities of their business needs and offers tailored expertise to spur their business growth," said Bill Holt, executive vice president of Business Banking at SunTrust. "We articulated our commitment to serving business owners earlier this year by introducing our Business Class Banking program. The cornerstone of the program is the SunTrust Bill of Rights, which state the Bank's fundamental belief that owners -- regardless of business size -- have the right to expect exceptional service from their banking relationship."
