Background of the Study
The banking sector has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, primarily due to advancements in digital technology. Traditional banking services typically involve in-person interactions, physical branches, and manual processes, while digital banking offers online platforms, mobile apps, and automated services that allow customers to manage their finances remotely (Ogunjimi & Ibeh, 2024). The rise of digital banking has reshaped customer expectations, leading to shifts in service delivery and customer satisfaction metrics.
In Yobe State, banks are increasingly adopting digital banking platforms to cater to a growing customer base that demands convenience and speed. However, despite the advantages of digital services, traditional banking still plays a significant role for certain customer segments, particularly in rural areas where internet penetration remains low. This study aims to compare customer satisfaction levels between traditional and digital banking services in Yobe State, focusing on factors such as service accessibility, speed, reliability, and overall customer experience.
Statement of the Problem
While digital banking services are gaining traction in many regions, there is a lack of empirical research comparing customer satisfaction between traditional and digital banking services, particularly in regions like Yobe State. Customers in rural areas may face challenges with digital banking, such as internet connectivity issues and technological barriers, which may influence their satisfaction levels. This study seeks to investigate whether digital banking services deliver superior customer satisfaction compared to traditional banking methods in Yobe State.
