Survey research method was used and data from the study were drawn from both primary and secondary sources. A sample size comprising 50 employees and customers were selected using stratified sampling technique and random sampling techniques. Quantitative data from the study was analyzed through descriptive statistics. The result indicates that customer relationship marketing is an effective tool to measure banks performance.
