I can't believe banks scored as high as 7%

I think those are the people that work for a bank. In urban parts of GB probably more than 7%.
And I'm actually surprised that Building Societies scored so low, but maybe I've got some weird bias.
I bank with Nationwide who are supposed to be a building society. In my experience they're in every way just like a bank.
I suspect the banks would pay a lot of money to find out who those 7% are...
I bank at a credit union [1]. I specifically remember one year where they sent a letter saying roughly "We made too much money. Your account has been credited with your share of the excess." Of course, that's what a credit union implies but they're a bank to me so I'd be in the 7%.

I think the UK equivalent would perhaps be a "building society" - which are on that list at 15%.
