Abstract: The main objective of this study is to examine customer satisfaction in the banking sector using the SERVQUEL model and Ecobank Ghana Limited in Ghana as a case study. The research employed the quantitative research approach. Using a sample size of 150, data was collected and analysed. The research revealed that expectations of customers exceeded their perceptions. The interpretation of this result using the disconfirmation theory is that customers are generally not satisfied with the quality of service they receive from the bank. The conclusion drawn in this regard is that, Ecobank Ghana Limited is not fully meeting the expectations of their customers and hence need to do more to improve its service quality as a means of satisfying their customers so as to remain competitive. The research population was restricted to three Ecobank branches: all in one township and hence the results of the study cannot be generalized. Future studies should therefore look at conducting a countrywide study.
