Discovery Bank Leads South Africa's Consumer Banking Experience Rankings Amid Customer Value Concerns
Discovery Bank has emerged as the leader in South Africa's consumer banking customer experience rankings, according to the 2025 Customer Experience Index. This marks the first year Discovery Bank has been included in the benchmark, which compares customer experience across major consumer banking brands in South Africa. The rankings show Absa in second place, with Standard Bank and Nedbank sharing third. The index, developed by Professor Adré Schreuder at the University of Pretoria, measures the full end-to-end customer experience across multiple industries. Despite strong service, the industry benchmark score declined slightly due to a growing gap between perceived quality and perceived value, as customers become more critical of the value for money received from their banking relationships.
