The empirical Findings of this study show that corporate social responsibility activities have a strong and positive impact on customer satisfaction and loyalty. It was also found that customer satisfaction is linked positively to customer loyalty. Findings from this paper are of importance for bank managers and directors when developing effective strategies.
