This paper outlines the beginnings of WWB’s research into customer service: key findings from customer satisfaction surveys and focus groups conducted from 1999 to 2001 with network members in Bangladesh, Uganda and Colombia. During this time, the WWB global team worked with network leaders to better understand what customers of microfinance services value. This research was used to improve existing products and services and to design new product offerings.
