For a successful banking business in a highly competitive market, the most important thing is to build trust with and understanding of customers, their desires and requirements. Nowadays, bank customers are becoming more and more informed, which means that they are becoming more and more familiar with banking services. Consequently, they are more demanding and they force banks to constantly evolve and offer better quality banking services. It is important for the banks to consider how to improve the factors and services that meet the bank customer's needs. The diploma work is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part, customer satisfaction and loyalty are presented in more detail. The empirical part presents the research and the analysis of hypotheses. We conducted a survey with a questionnaire, which includes respondents older than 18 years of age with an open bank account. Based on the results of the questionnaire, we presented the findings and made suggestions for improvement. Evaluations of these results helped us to examine real data, which was used to determine to which extent quality banking services have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. Findings based on the questionnaire showed that the respondents in the age group of 26-35 are most satisfied with banking services. The customers expressed slight dissatisfaction, with the commissions, interest rates for borrowing loans, and the savings options. There were three hypotheses set in the diploma thesis. All three hypotheses were rejected. In the first hypothesis, we assumed the customers are very satisfied with the quality of banking services, but the survey showed that they are only moderately satisfied with it. In the second hypothesis, we assumed that men were more satisfied than women, but findings based on the t-test showed that satisfaction between the sexes did not differ statistically significantly. We also rejected the third hypothesis that customers who have been in a business relationship for a longer period of time are more satisfied than customers who have been in a business relationship with a bank for a shorter time, as we cannot confirm it based on t-test findings.
