CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The advent of financial innovation such as smart card, credit card, electronic transfers in the payment system and recently the lunching of internet banking have transformed the world into a global village linked with electronic impulses. The concept of electronic money in Nigeria was introduced in 1990 when the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) gave approval to them. All state Trust Bank limited to offer a financial product known as smart card. Subsequently, Diamond Bank play card. However, the smart card scheme received uplift in February, 1998 when a consortium of a licensed bank surfaces a smart card company in Nigeria which is known as Smart card Nigeria plc with a mandate to producers and manages cards issued by the member bank of the consortium. Another consortium of more than 20 bank under the patronage of Gen card became operational in year 2000.

These innovations, which are still at a relatively early state of development have postnatal to challenge the predominate role of cash for making small value payments and make retail transactions easier and cheaper for consumers and merchants who are account holders.

However, they also raised a number of policy issues because of the possible implication for Central Bank monetary policy consumer system etc.

In responses to implication technology development in the domestic financial sector, the Central Bank of Nigeria commissioned and information technology strategy study in 1991 with the objective of promoting efficient performance of its statutory duties. The product is being implemented in phase and both the licensed banks and the regulatory authority here demonstrated their appreciation of benefit derivable form the application and use of the information technology.

In view of foregoing, the Central Bank Governors of the group of ten (G-10) country commission a series of studies on specific issues related to electronic banking in Nigeria. Therefore, the objectives of the research are to ascertain the role of electronic banking in Nigeria by using Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) Plc, Ogui Road, Enugu as the case study.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The problems facing electronic banking in Nigeria are lack of adequate information and communication technological awareness campaign about electronic banking. In Nigeria, communication over the internet are insecure and often congested, the financial institution would also have to contend with other internet challenges including security, quality of service and some abbreviations in electronic fiancé (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 to cash transaction in the economy, low level of awareness among Nigeria etc (Agbada, 2008). The thrust of this research work shall be to examine the trend of electronic banking in Nigeria and critically examination of the challenge.

Conclusively, on my own opinion, below are the problems which electronic banking in Nigeria is facing.

a. There was no adequate public education on how to use E-banking product in Nigeria before the banks stated rolling them out.

b. Poor service from the providers.

c. A lot of people are averse to using E- products, they prefer cash transaction and your cant blame them because of No. 2 above. If your money gets stocked on the ATM you are on your own.

d. Many of the banks can’t do what they are claiming to offer it terms of E- banking.

1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

2. To appraise how inactive regulatory bodies prevent the development of needed logistics technical supports.

3. To ascertain the extent to which lack of sufficient skilled manpower distorts the development of electronic banking in Nigeria.

4. To find out how inadequate funding by government and its agencies affects the development of electronic banking in Nigeria.

1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The following research questions have been formulated in the course of this study.

1. To what extent does inadequate information and communication technology awareness distort the development of electronic banking in Nigeria?

3. To what extent does lack of sufficient skilled manpower distorts the development of electronic banking in Nigeria?

4. How does inadequate funding by government and agencies affect the development of electronic banking in Nigeria?

1.5 HYPOTHESIS

In order to carryout this study properly and successfully, the following hypothesis would be empirically tested:

Ho: Inadequate information and communication technology distort the development of electronic banking in Nigeria.

Hi: Inadequate information and communication technology does not distort the development of electronic banking in Nigeria

Ho: Inactive regulatory bodies prevent the provision of needed logistics.

Hi: Inactive regulatory bodies do not prevent the provision of needed logistics.

Ho: Lack of sufficient skilled manpower distort electronic banking development in Nigeria.
