Background of the Study
Digital innovation is increasingly reshaping service delivery in the banking sector, particularly in the corporate banking arena. Keystone Bank in Abuja has adopted a range of digital innovations—from advanced customer relationship management systems to blockchain-based payment solutions—to enhance its service delivery. Such innovations enable the bank to offer faster, more efficient, and personalized services to corporate clients, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and competitive advantage (Sule, 2023). The integration of digital tools into corporate banking processes allows for real-time data analysis, improved risk management, and streamlined operations. These capabilities are essential for meeting the complex financial needs of corporate clients in today’s fast-paced economic environment (Balogun, 2024).
The bank’s digital transformation strategy includes investments in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing. These technologies have facilitated the automation of routine processes, reduced manual errors, and enhanced decision-making capabilities. By leveraging digital innovation, Keystone Bank has been able to deliver more agile and customer-centric banking services. This proactive approach not only boosts operational efficiency but also supports the bank’s broader goal of achieving sustainable growth in the corporate banking segment (Musa, 2025). However, the rapid pace of digital change brings its own set of challenges, such as the need for continuous technological upgrades and the risk of cybersecurity breaches. This study aims to evaluate the effect of digital innovation on service delivery in Keystone Bank’s corporate banking division, with an emphasis on identifying best practices and addressing potential challenges.
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in digital innovation, Keystone Bank faces challenges in realizing the full benefits of its digital transformation initiatives. A major issue is the difficulty in integrating cutting-edge digital solutions with existing legacy systems, which often leads to operational disruptions and inefficiencies (Sule, 2023). Additionally, there is a persistent risk of cybersecurity threats, which can undermine the trust of corporate clients and compromise service delivery. The bank also faces internal challenges, such as resistance to change and skill gaps among staff, which further impede the successful implementation of digital innovations (Balogun, 2024). Moreover, the lack of standardized performance metrics to measure the impact of digital innovations on service delivery makes it challenging to quantify improvements and identify areas for further enhancement (Musa, 2025). These issues collectively hinder the bank’s ability to provide seamless, high-quality services to its corporate clients. This study seeks to explore these challenges in depth and propose strategies to optimize digital innovation in the corporate banking service delivery framework at Keystone Bank.
