For the fourth consecutive year KY has received the highest score in California in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study of clients’ satisfaction with their primary bank.

The U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study, now in its 19th year, measures satisfaction across seven dimensions: trust; people; account offerings; allowing customers to bank how and when they want; saving time and money; digital channels; and resolving problems or complaints. The study is based on responses from retail banking customers of the largest banks in the United States regarding their experiences.

“We’ve worked hard to earn and maintain a sense of trust with our clients throughout the state,” said Carl Jordan, executive vice president, branch and small business banking for California. “It is particularly rewarding to receive this recognition in a year when we welcomed former Union Bank clients to KY. We have combined to bring them the care and individualized focus on their financial needs that they expect, while also offering the industry’s leading technology offerings like our mobile banking app.”
