U.S. BANK IN THE NEWS

Quality & value are keys to continued success

Customers continued to rank U.S. Bank highly in overall 
satisfaction, quality and value according to American Customer 
Satisfaction Index (ACSI) November 2012 research. U.S. Bank 
once again exceeded the industry average and the four largest 
banks in the country. The ACSI released the results of the 
four largest banks in the country, along with industry average 
and the combined average of all other banks. The highest 
reported score for a bank was 73 and industry average was 75 
for overall satisfaction. Looking at two primary drivers of 
overall satisfaction - quality and value - U.S. Bank remains 
above the industry average and the largest four banks. In 
customer retention, U.S. Bank scored significantly higher 
than the bank industry average.
