Credit unions ranked at the top of the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) for website experience. ACSIs new survey measured more than 200 companies within 33 industry categories, and it found that credit unions had the highest satisfaction score of 86. The national average website satisfaction index clocked in at 78.2, and consumer shipping and banks came in at just a tick mark shy of credit unions at 85. Social media was at the bottom of the list with a ranking of 68. Two of the top three industries for website satisfaction--credit unions and consumer shipping--also do well in terms of overall customer satisfaction, ACSI said. The third-quarter 2013 score placed credit unions at 85 for member satisfaction. Banks, however, have an overall customer satisfaction score of 78, which falls well below their website rating and credit unions overall satisfaction rating. Also, research firm Temkin Group found that credit unions earned an 81% rating for customer/member experience across 19 industries covering 268 companies.
