Rural banking plays a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion and economic development in rural areas. In Kachia Local Government Area, Kaduna State, rural banks are key players in providing essential financial services to underserved populations.

Clear and transparent communication strategies help rural banks build trust with their customers, promote financial literacy, and ensure that their services are accessible to the local community. Studies have shown that corporate communication is vital in overcoming challenges such as low awareness of banking services, customer skepticism, and the need for financial education in rural areas (Bala & Usman, 2024).
