Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
Finder worked with leading insights company Dynata to survey nearly 20,000 Australians across almost 200 categories for our Customer Satisfaction Awards program.
- Consumers were asked to review a money transfer provider they had used.
- Brands had to receive a minimum of 55 responses in this category to be eligible for the award.
- The brands were rated based on the following categories:
- Customer service
- Features and benefits
- Fees
- Overall experience
- Speed of transfer
- Recommendation score
- Respondents were also asked whether they would recommend each product to a friend. This result was scored out of 5 as a percentage. For example, if 80% of respondents said they would recommend a product, it received a score of 4 out of 5.
- The final score was calculated as an average of the 5 metrics scored.
- Finder's Customer Satisfaction Awards is an independent awards program and commercial partnerships do not influence the results in any way.
