Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Access to banking services is a fundamental aspect of financial inclusion, especially in rural areas where traditional banking services are often limited. In Ganjuwa Local Government Area, Bauchi State, rural banking adoption remains a challenge due to factors such as geographic isolation, low literacy rates, and limited access to banking infrastructure. However, the rise of digital media has provided a new avenue for promoting financial services, facilitating communication between banks and rural populations. Digital platforms such as mobile banking apps, social media, and financial literacy campaigns have empowered rural residents with knowledge about banking options and encouraged the adoption of digital banking solutions. According to research by Bello and Musa (2023), digital media plays a crucial role in informing rural communities about the benefits of modern banking, promoting financial literacy, and encouraging the use of mobile and online banking services. This study aims to assess the impact of digital media on rural banking adoption in Ganjuwa, exploring how digital platforms can overcome barriers to banking access in rural communities.
