Satisfaction and loyalty were measured by using four statements. The significance of this research is reflected in the fact that by proving the hypotheses it will be determined that quality is of the outmost importance for the business activity of every bank because quality influences satisfaction and user loyalty. It will also be determinedwhich dimension of quality has the most influence on those variables. The results gained by this research contribute to better understanding of clients by banks.
