Background of the Study
Customer feedback serves as a vital tool for business growth and service improvement. Organizations that actively seek and implement customer feedback are more likely to improve service quality, enhance customer satisfaction, and gain a competitive advantage (Adeola & Ojo, 2024). In the banking sector, customer feedback plays a crucial role in identifying service inefficiencies, optimizing digital banking platforms, and addressing customer grievances.
Ecobank Nigeria, a leading financial institution, operates in a dynamic and customer-driven market. To maintain customer loyalty and improve service delivery, the bank has invested in feedback mechanisms, including surveys, online reviews, and customer service reports. However, the extent to which customer feedback influences business improvement remains unclear, as some banks struggle to translate feedback into actionable strategies (Nwachukwu & Usman, 2023).
This study examines the relationship between customer feedback and business improvement in Ecobank Nigeria, Niger State. It will assess the effectiveness of feedback mechanisms and explore how customer insights contribute to service enhancements.
Statement of the Problem
While customer feedback is recognized as a key driver of business improvement, many banks fail to utilize it effectively. Complaints about poor service delivery, long transaction processes, and unresponsive customer service persist in many Nigerian banks, including Ecobank (Ogunleye & Bello, 2024).
Although Ecobank has implemented feedback mechanisms, there is limited research on how this feedback translates into tangible business improvements. This study seeks to address this gap by evaluating the role of customer feedback in shaping business strategies and service delivery at Ecobank Nigeria, Niger State.
