A bank is a financial institution licensed to receive deposits and make loans. Banks may
also provide financial services, such as wealth management, currency exchange and safe deposit
current accounts. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment methods such
According to Stephenson & Britain, Banks are the custodians and distribution of liquid
capital, which is the life-blood of our commercial and industrial activities and upon the prudence
A bank can generate revenue in a variety of different ways including interest, transaction
fees and financial advice. Traditionally, the most significant method is via charging interest on
the capital it lends out to customers. The bank profits from the difference between the level of
interest it pays for deposits and other sources of funds, and the level of interest it charges in its
lending activities.

suggested that the level of service quality is an indication of the organization's ability to meet
customers' desires and demands. So organizations must make their services better to meet the

“Customers became a center for all banking activities due to increased competition for greater
market share. Focusing on customer satisfaction has been the key to increasing service quality
according to customers’ expectations in the banking sector” (Zairi, 2000). Customer satisfaction
is one of the most important factors in business. The customer will be satisfy depending on the
with a bank's customers and helping customers understand their accounts. Often, their duties are
to check the status of bank accounts, explain incurred fees and help customers with any issues,
problems or questions. Having a good understanding of the real motives behind customers’
preferences will help banks to understand customers better. Therefore experts say that customer
satisfaction should be the fundamental principle of all the service firms as it is the key indicator
of firm’s performance. As said by Sakthivel et al., (2005) customer loyalty and satisfaction is
proved to be the major determinant for long term survival and financial performance of the
company.

two different banks affect the depositor’s choice. By examining two different banks, the
researcher will be able to know which bank (BDO & METROBANK) serves better and which is

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Security is an important reason why people store their money in bank. Bank helps people
to save money and it is very convenient. Depositors will be able to access physical cash
wherever there is a bank branch or ATM (Automated Teller Machine). However, some banks
are often more expensive than the other bank. Banks may charge a monthly maintenance fee if
your account balance is under a certain threshold. These fees charged by banks will help to
maintain your account. The depositors will pay for the interest or fee and if not, the interest
rate will rise up. Some of the depositors will find a bank that has a low interest rate. That’s
The study aims to know on how the service of the different banks affects the choices of
the depositors, also, to identify why these depositors trust their chosen bank and to
differentiate the services and offers of the different banks. With that, the researchers will be

CHAPTER II
Introduction
The chapter provides an overview of the previous literature that is related to this study. Most
of the existing literature refers almost to the customer service of the bank and on how the
customer service and the workplace may affect the depositor’s choice. The related articles will
serve as a guide to the current study by knowing how the service quality of different commercial
banks affects the customer’s preference. The studies contribution to the current study is the
analysis of customer’s satisfaction, the competitive environment and the effect of working
environment. The statements, findings and conclusions indicate influence and relevance to the
present research.
Customer Service is an important act in the firm that is being done by the staffs and/or
management. Customer service in the bank is different from the other customer service. Bank
service is an interaction of the employees and the depositors. This is the way on how the
employees communicate with the depositors. Bank service is the way of meeting the needs and

surveyed 50 respondents from the random depositors and 10 respondents from the employees of
the two different commercial banks, Banco De Oro (BDO) and Metrobank at Mabini, Batangas.

knowledge for obtaining the banking target, determining the bank services that affect the
depositors’ choice.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
The researchers will be collecting the data by means of survey questionnaire that comprises
their gender and age of the respondents. The proponents will use two different survey
questionnaires, for the depositors and for the employees. The problems encountered by the
depositors will be identified through the survey questionnaire that will be given to them. The
factors affecting the employee’s performance/service will also be identified through the survey
questionnaire that will be given to them. After the questionnaires have been accomplished, the
results were tallied and tabulated. These data became the bases of analysis and interpretation.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter begins with an overview of the analysis of quantitative data collected from
the depositors of Metrobank and Banco de Oro bank and from the employees of these banks.
The overview of the analysis will include the procedures within the analysis and a description of
the depositors and employees participating in the survey. And this chapter provides the
presentation of the findings derived from the survey questionnaires given to employees and
depositors of MetroBank and Banco de Oro bank. The findings were utilized to formulate on

performance of an employee and how often does the depositors use bank services.
questionnaires. These descriptive statistics included the scores for each question, and the
personal data of each respondent as well as the number of the depositors for Metrobank and
Banco de Oro bank. The researchers analyzed all the collected data’s by tallying and tabulating.
This section of the questionnaire covered the respondent’s gender, age and which bank they
are currently using (for the depositors) and which bank they are working with (for the
employees). Although it is not the central of the study, the personal data helped the researchers to
know how many are the depositors of the MetroBank and Banco de Oro bank and to know the
most numbered workforce in the banks, whether female or male. Gathering this data helped the
researchers to determine which bank is more effective to the depositors. This section serves as a
census to count the number of depositors of the two said banks, MetroBank and Banco de Oro
bank.
