Why It Matters
In J.D. Power’s 2025 Canada Retail Banking Satisfaction Study, satisfaction with opening a new account fell 17 points at the Big 5 banks, with lower ratings for representatives’ knowledge and helpfulness and the clarity of product information. Poor service was one of the top reasons customers switched banks (J.D. Power, 2025).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bank mystery shopping?
Certified shoppers visit branches, call or apply online as prospective clients, then report on the welcome, needs discovery, product explanations, disclosures and follow-up. Results show how consistently your advisors and staff deliver.
Can mystery shopping help with compliance?
Yes. Surveys can check whether required disclosures, fee explanations and suitability questions are covered during the conversation, so you can spot coaching gaps before they become compliance issues.
Can you evaluate the new account opening experience?
Yes. It’s one of the moments that matters most: J.D. Power’s 2025 Canadian study found satisfaction with opening a new account dropped, with lower ratings for staff knowledge, helpfulness and clarity of product information. Shoppers can go through the conversation as prospective clients and report on exactly those points, without opening an account.
Do shoppers open accounts or apply for loans?
Not unless your program calls for it. Shoppers can go through the inquiry and application conversation without completing a credit check, signing a contract or opening an account.
Can you evaluate mortgage and lending follow-up?
Yes. Shoppers can make an inquiry and then track whether, when and how your team follows up, by phone, email or text.
Do you work with credit unions and financial advisors?
Yes. We work with retail banks, credit unions, lending and mortgage firms, and financial advisory practices.
