Lost Customer Survey Questions
It’s never easy to see an account holder go. It is, however, a great time to reach out to them to see why they left. Asking them if they’d recommend your financial institution to others and why they left will help you identify problem areas. You can then take steps to improve those areas, which will hopefully increase your retention rate.
Timing Tip: We recommend sending this survey template one to two days after an account holder has left your financial institution.
1. How likely is it that you would recommend [INSTITUTION NAME] to a friend or colleague?
2. Can you tell us the reason(s) you chose to end your relationship with [INSTITUTION NAME]? Choose all that apply.
