BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Although
a lot of research works has been done on the prospects and challenges of
Information Technology in the banking industry, theses research works are broad
based and only few are actually carried on Electronic Banking (E-banking).
Modern banks now realize that only those that overhaul their payment service
delivery and operations are likely to survive and prosper in the 21st century
(Opara et al, 2010). This is due to pressure of globalisation, consolidation, privatization,
deregulation and rapidly changing technology (Connel and Saleh 2004). In order
to properly place themselves in favourable positions for competitions and be
one of those corporations to be reckoned with in the new century, banks are
making use of Internet to execute mobile banking, this developed from bringing
PCs together to form local and Wide Area Networks through client/server
technology.
Many banks have installed modern computer inter-connectivity backbone that
would enable them achieve communications of data and multimedia over Internets,
Intranets and Extranets. They also realise that they have to achieve not only
management/staff wide computer literacy but what could be called information
literacy i.e. knowing how to locate, analyse, store and use information. All
staff and managers in a modern bank need to be able to search and gather data
from several types of sources, analyse them, select relevant ones and organise
them in such a manner to allow them make decisions based on the organised data.
Banks
of the future realises that the banking of tomorrow requires more of electronic
manipulations and shuffling of bits-based money and other banking transactions,
instead of paper. In other words, paper based transactions are now being
replaced by electronic-based transactions e.g. the Internet. Whether a bank
would be successful or not depend on the extent to which it is investing in IT
and using it in an innovative manner. This area has been tip to be a major
competitive ground for banks that are operating in the post-consolidation era.
What
are the major issues needed to be mastered by Nigeria banks in order to compete
with the rest of the world? What are the major developments and challenges in
the Nigerian operating environment that are affecting the growth of electronic
banking in the industry? These are some of the questions that would be
addressed in the course of this study.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Electronic banking is a driving force that is changing the landscape of the
banking industry fundamentally, in particular, towards a more competitive
industry. Electronic banking has blurred the boundaries between different
financial institutions, enabled new financial products and services, and made
existing financial services available in different packages (Agbada, 2008). But
the influences of electronic banking go far beyond this.
The developments in electronic banking, together with other financial
innovations, are constantly bringing new challenges to finance theory and
changing people’s understanding of the financial system.
It is not surprising that in the application of electronic banking in Nigeria,
the financial institutions have to face its problems. Communications over the
Internet are insecure and often congested. The financial institutions would
also have to contend with other Internet challenges including security, quality
of service and some aberrations in electronic finance (Guardian Newspaper
2001).
Besides, the existing business environment also poses some challenges to the
smooth operations of electronic banking in Nigeria. Some of these operational
challenges include epileptic power supply, dominance of cash transaction in the
economy, low level of awareness among Nigerians etc (Agbada, 2008). The thrust
of this research work shall be to examine the trend of electronic banking in
Nigeria and a critically examination of the challenges noted above.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
Some the objectives, which this research work aims to achieve are as
follows:
(i) To evaluate the prospects of electronic banking in Nigerian banking
industry and financial institutions;
(ii) To evaluate the impact of electronic banking on the operations of
financial institutions in the country;
(iii) To examine the effect of electronic on bank-customer relationship;
(iv) To seek to examine the challenges facing the implementation of electronic
banking in Nigeria;
(v) To examine the general International Experience on the study.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND
HYPOTHESES
The study would provide answers to the following questions:
1. Does Electronic banking contribute to the efficiency and reliability of
banks and banking?
2. Does Electronic banking improves bank-customer relationship and retains them
to their respective banks?
3. To what extent would Electronic banking improve the fortune of banks?
4. What are the results of frequent changes and upgrading of information
Technology equipments on the bank’s profitability?
5. Should all banks in Nigeria venture into Electronic banking services rather
continuing with the traditional banking?
6. What are technical and operations challenges facing the adoption of
electronic banking in Nigeria?
1.5 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The following hypotheses are formulated from the research questions above:
1. Electronic banking enhances banks profitability and efficiency.
2. Electronic banking improves bank-customer relationship.
3. Adoption of Electronic banking would enhance the fortune of the banks.
4. More banks in Nigeria are eager to join the bandwagon of other banks that
provides Electronic banking services because of the merits involved.
5. The Nigerian Business environment hinders the smooth operations of
Electronic banking in the country.
1.6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND
SOURCES OF DATA
Both primary and secondary data shall be the basis of this research work. The
primary data shall be generated by means of a well-structured questionnaire
instrument. The first section of the questionnaire shall be based on the
personal data of the responses while the second section shall seek to ask
questions that relates to the subject on the basis of the research questions.
The questionnaire to be used shall be carefully administered and a total of
fifty (50) staffs of the bank would be selected, for the purpose of this study.
The sampling shall be done randomly such that the respondents shall cut across
the different departments in the bank. This could to some extent give a basis
for generalisation. The data, which would be collected from the questionnaire,
will be analysed using the simple percentage method and chi-square, goodness of
fit. This would make the analysis of the data more concise and simple.
Secondary data shall also be collected from research reports, CBN Monthly
reports, First Bank Annual Reports and other published materials.
1.7 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This study is significance because it would help to enlighten operators in
the banking sector and other concerned individuals and organisation on the
adoption of Electronic banking. The research shall basically identify the
technical and operational challenges facing Electronic banking in Nigerian
business environment and suggests ways by which they could be tackled.
1.8 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
In pursuance of the objective of the study, attention shall be focused on
Electronic banking among other electronic commerce implementation. In order to
conduct an empirical investigation into the adoption of Electronic banking in
Nigeria, this study shall examine the nature Electronic banking operations in
First Bank of Nigeria Plc.
