The purpose of the study is of utmost importance as it aims to delve deeper into the customers' expectations and perceptions regarding the Service Quality of TPBank LiveBank (LiveBank), a digital bank. The research conducted through five SERVQUAL dimensions will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive customers' satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the services offered by LiveBank. This analysis will enable the researchers to provide valuable recommendations and insights for enhancing service quality and improving customer experience. Methodology: The SERVQUAL scale, designed by Parasuraman et al.
(1988), is a comprehensive questionnaire that is instrumental in determining the quality/satisfaction causal order. The questionnaire consists of 22 multiple-choice questions divided into five parts, namely Reliability, Assurance, Responsiveness, Empathy, and Tangibles. To maintain concision, the answers are duplicated for both expectation and perception, and the responses are recorded on a 7-point Likert scale that ranges from 1 “totally disagree” to 7 “totally agree”. The secondary data for the analysis of primary data are collected from the internet and TPBank's web-based resources.
As a professional, it is imperative to use such a well-designed tool to accurately measure and analyze customer satisfaction. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS. 5 LIST OF FIGURES.

Research background Nowadays, the banking industry is critical to the operation of modern society.
