This paper focuses on the application of Group Network efficiency evaluation (GNE) to conduct a comparative analysis of Iranian banking branches. The objective is to evaluate the efficiency of these branches and identify the factors contributing to their performance. The proposed method utilizes two-stages analysis to evaluate the banking branches, taking into account the relative efficiency scores of each unit within its respective group. The evaluation system provides insights into the strengths and weaknesses of individual branches and allows for comparison and benchmarking among the different banks. The results of this study contribute to enhancing the efficiency and performance of the banking sector by identifying areas for improvement and best practices. The findings can be utilized by banking institutions, policymakers, and regulators to make informed decisions and implement strategies for achieving higher levels of efficiency and competitiveness in the banking industry. In an empirical study, we compared 72 banking branches belonging to three different banking groups with each other.
