Background of the Study

Ethical marketing practices involve promoting products and services in ways that uphold moral principles, such as honesty, transparency, and fairness. In the financial sector, ethical marketing is critical for building trust, maintaining compliance with regulations, and fostering long-term customer relationships (Kotler & Keller, 2023).

First Bank, as one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions, has a reputation for ethical conduct. However, in Niger State, where financial literacy levels vary, ensuring ethical marketing practices that resonate with diverse customer segments is essential for maintaining trust and loyalty (Okafor & Musa, 2024).
