New Account Survey Questions for Banks and Credit Unions

New account holders can provide you with valuable insight for your financial institution. So, why not ask them a few questions? This particular survey template focuses on how likely they are to recommend you to others, how they heard about your institution, and how satisfied they were with the time it took to open their account.

Timing Tip: We recommend sending this template one to two days after a totally new customer or member opens a new account.
