Bank of America says it’s No. 2 for mortgage customer satisfaction. So does Chase.

In the competitive U.S. mortgage market, bank giants are battling to be runner-up in customer satisfaction for home loans.

On Wednesday, Bank of America BAC, +0.83%  boasted of earning the No. 2 spot in J.D. Power’s customer-satisfaction study for mortgage originations. On Tuesday J.P.Morgan Chase JPM, +0.51%  proclaimed it was No. 2 in J.D. Power’s customer-satisfaction study for mortgage servicing.

Both claims are true, with a caveat: USAA out-scored Bank of America in the origination study, but it wasn’t included in the ranking because its mortgages are only available to those who have been or are in the military, plus their families.

So, who is No. 1 for mortgage-customer satisfaction? That’s Quicken Loans, an online lender based in Detroit. Quicken nabbed top spots last year in customer satisfaction for both originations and servicing.

For the origination survey, Quicken has ranked No. 1 for five consecutive years, with good marks for loan offerings, the application and approval process, and problem resolution, among other categories. For the servicing study, 2014 was the first year that J.D. Power included Quicken, which promptly beat its competition. Quicken performed well in categories such as billing and payment process and escrow-account administration.
