Background of the Study
The banking sector has evolved significantly, with new-generation banks adopting digital technologies to enhance service delivery, while traditional banks maintain a mix of conventional and modern approaches. Service delivery models determine customer satisfaction, retention, and operational efficiency in banking institutions (Okafor & Adebayo, 2024). New-generation banks like United Bank for Africa (UBA) focus on automation, fintech integration, and mobile banking, whereas traditional banks like First Bank Nigeria Plc maintain a strong physical presence with in-person customer service.
In Taraba State, where financial inclusion remains a challenge, the choice of service delivery model can significantly impact customer access to banking services. While new-generation banks emphasize efficiency and digital accessibility, traditional banks cater to customers who prefer face-to-face interactions. This study examines the strengths and weaknesses of service delivery models in UBA and First Bank Nigeria Plc to identify best practices for improving banking services.
Statement of the Problem
Despite technological advancements in banking, customer satisfaction remains inconsistent due to gaps in service delivery models. Traditional banks struggle with long queues and bureaucratic processes, while new-generation banks face challenges in customer trust and digital literacy (CBN Report, 2023). The extent to which these service models address customer needs in Taraba State is unclear, necessitating a comparative analysis to evaluate their effectiveness.
