“This year’s CX Index results clearly indicate that brands need to continue to be customer obsessed — putting their customers at the center of their leadership, strategy, and operations — if they want to deliver exceptional CX,” said Michelle Yaiser, VP of Data Insights & Engagement at Forrester in June 2022. “Brands that provide strong emotional quality in customer experiences see higher CX Index scores, foster greater brand loyalty, and enable stronger customer trust.”

The ranking was based on responses from more than 96,000 survey respondents from 13 industries, including airlines, auto and home insurers, auto manufacturers (luxury and mass market), banks (direct and multichannel), credit card issuers, federal government agencies, health insurers, hotels, investment firms, retailers, and utilities. The credit union is also named a CX Elite brand (a top 5% brand in the entire CX Index) for banks (multichannel) and credit card issuers.

"Our members are at the heart of what we do. We strive to go above and beyond in each interaction we have making their experiences our top priority," said Pam Piligian, Chief Marketing Officer at Navy Federal." I am proud of our team members determination in making our members our mission."

As a CX Elite brand for banks (multichannel), Navy Federal ranked in the following categories:

• Customer/Member Service
• Clear Communication
• Providing transparent prices, rates and fees
• Most Recommended by customers/members

Among Credit Card Issuers, Navy Federal ranked second highest in the CX Index rankings.
