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).
This study evaluates the ethical marketing practices of First Bank in Niger State, analyzing their impact on customer trust and satisfaction.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the importance of ethical marketing, challenges such as misleading advertisements, hidden charges, and lack of transparency have led to customer dissatisfaction in the financial sector. At First Bank in Niger State, these issues threaten to undermine customer trust and loyalty (Eze & Adeyemi, 2023).
This study explores the ethical marketing practices of First Bank, identifying gaps and recommending strategies to enhance ethical standards.
