In order to meet the growing demand for financial services of the people and continuously improve the service level of bank outlets, in 2015, the People's Bank of China and the national standardization authorities organized consumer associations, standard research institutions, and commercial banks to formulate and publish the "Basic Requirements for Banking Business Network Services". The two national standards for the Bank's Business Network Service Evaluation Guidelines stipulate the basic requirements of the banking outlets in terms of service environment and functions, service management, and consumer rights protection, and propose that the employees of the outlets actively inform the customers about the relevant service items and prices.
