It has been established that bank loyalty has been the subject of only two published
studies, both of these being conducted in countries where single banking is the norm. The
purpose of the present study is to establish the meaning and extent of bank loyalty in
Singapore where multiple banking is very widely practised. The data for the study was
obtained from responses to one hundred and twenty questionnaires that were passed out
to former graduates ofNanyang Technological University.
The study has established that, according to a loyalty index that was developed,
loyal and disloyal bank customers do not exhibit significant differences in, amongst other
things, their attitude towards banks and their degree of familiarity with bank services. This
finding · was inconsistent with the only other research study that has used the same
approach. An alternative method was used to analyse the data, this being a probability
analysis. This showed that overall, only 4.7% of the graduate sample was totally loyal to a
bank. The remainder was disloyal to a greater or lesser degree. The results showed that
there was higher loyalty to a person's main banker during the time spent at university
compared with the period after graduation. The bank that lost the most patronage as main
banker over the period of the study was the Post Office Savings Bank, while the bank that
gained the most was the Development Bank of Singapore.
The results have implications for all banks that operate in Singapore's retail market
and should each bank wish to either maintain its share of the graduate market or make it
greater, appropriate marketing techniques need to be carried out. |
