Background of the Study
Customer satisfaction is critical for the long-term success of any financial institution, and in Islamic banking, it is intricately linked to ethical practices and Shariah compliance. Islamic banks emphasize transparency, fairness, and socially responsible practices, which are key drivers of customer trust and loyalty (Mustafa, 2023). The unique features of Islamic banking products—such as profit-sharing, interest-free financing, and ethical investment—are designed to meet the specific needs of customers seeking alternatives to conventional banking. Advances in digital technology have further enhanced customer satisfaction by providing convenient, secure, and efficient service delivery through online and mobile banking platforms (Al-Hassan, 2024).
This study examines customer satisfaction in Islamic banking by exploring how service quality, product innovation, and ethical standards influence client perceptions. The integration of real-time feedback mechanisms and customer relationship management (CRM) systems has enabled Islamic banks to continuously monitor and improve service delivery. As competition intensifies in the financial sector, understanding and enhancing customer satisfaction become vital for sustainable growth. The investigation also considers how cultural factors, communication effectiveness, and the overall customer experience contribute to satisfaction levels (Rahman, 2025). Ultimately, the study aims to provide insights that can help Islamic banks tailor their services to meet evolving customer expectations and improve their market positioning.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the inherent advantages of Islamic banking in promoting ethical and customer-centric services, several challenges hinder the achievement of high customer satisfaction levels. One significant issue is the inconsistency in service delivery across branches and digital platforms, which can lead to varying customer experiences (Mustafa, 2023). Additionally, limited customer awareness about the unique features of Islamic banking products may result in misaligned expectations and dissatisfaction. Organizational challenges, such as inadequate training and resistance to adopting new technologies, further compound these issues (Al-Hassan, 2024). Furthermore, while many banks have implemented feedback systems, the lack of robust mechanisms to act on customer insights often results in unresolved service gaps. These challenges underscore the need for a comprehensive evaluation of customer satisfaction drivers in Islamic banking, particularly in the context of rapid digitalization and evolving market demands.
