The two banks scored 73.3%, followed by Stanbic (72.2%), Barclays (71.3%) and Standard Chartered (70.4%). While Bank Gaborone is a relatively new player in the market after coming in six years ago, the others are more established names in the industry.

The yet to be released KPMG report provides insight and results from their survey of over 25,000 retail banking customers from 14 countries across Africa including Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Chad, C™te d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
