According to Global InfoAnalytics, “Brand equity describes the level of sway a brand name has in the minds of consumers. Organizations establish brand equity by creating positive experiences that entice consumers to continue purchasing from them over competitors who make similar products.”

Aside from tracking banks’ assets values and comparing them to key brand metrics on a quarterly basis, the quarterly report also provides banks and customers with the up-to-date status on “banking brand health.”
