The J.D. Power 2021 U.S. Retail Banking Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 94,784 consumer banking customers of the largest banks in the United States about their experiences with their consumer bank. It was fielded from April 2020 through February 2021. Regional banks are those with $55 billion–$259 billion in domestic deposits.
