Each year, thousands of Australians rate brands they've used as part of Finder's Customer Satisfaction Awards program. Aussies rate brands within a product category across a range of metrics, including 'value for money' and 'customer service'. Finder worked with leading data, insights and consulting company, Dynata to survey customers and collect their responses.
The final scores were calculated as follows:
| Award | Weightings |
|---|---|
| Most Loved |
|
| Most Trusted |
|
| Legendary Service |
|
| National winner |

Disclaimer: We tried to collect feedback and data from survey participants on as many products and providers in the market as possible. Although we were able to assess an extensive range of products and providers from the survey responses, we can't say that every provider and/or product currently available in the market was considered as part of our review and winner selection process. Some products and/or providers may have been omitted from survey responses and therefore not considered by us for any Customer Satisfaction Award. Survey customers received an incentive arranged by Dynata. Read our Advertiser Disclosure.
