The aim of this study is to determine the role of service quality, customer satisfaction and bank image on customer loyalty and recommendation of the Islamic banks in Palestine. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the different variables that were being studied in this research paper and their relationship with customer loyalty and recommendation. The research findings showed that customer satisfaction normally has an impact on the bank image a customer will create, ultimately affecting his or her customer loyalty and recommendation to a certain bank. Customer satisfaction is determined by the quality of services that he or she experiences in a bank. Therefore, if a customer receives service quality that meets or exceeds his or her expectations, then he or she will have a positive image of the bank, become satisfied and then will highly likely be loyal to a particular financial institution and recommend it to his or her friends
