Abstract. This study aims to describe the role of interpersonal communication between customer service officers and customers in improving service quality at Bank BNI, Makassar Branch. Specifically, it analyzes the reasons for the importance of interpersonal communication in service delivery, the communication processes between customer service officers and customers, as well as the inhibiting and supporting factors influencing its effectiveness. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach and was conducted at three locations: BNI Makassar Branch, Arief Rate Sub-Branch, and Pettarani Sub-Branch. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews and analyzed descriptively. The results show that: (1) interpersonal communication plays a crucial role in creating quality service through empathetic and solution-oriented interactions that enhance customer trust and comfort; (2) customer service communication is considered effective and polite, with messages conveyed in a friendly and easily understood manner, both directly and through digital service media; and (3) the effectiveness of interpersonal communication is influenced by inhibiting factors such as differences in understanding, customers’ emotional conditions, long queues, and technical system disturbances, while supporting factors include staff friendliness and patience, a comfortable service environment, and clarity of information. Overall, effective interpersonal communication contributes significantly to improving service quality and customer satisfaction in the banking environment.
