Background of the Study
Data management is critical to the success of business banking, as it underpins effective decision-making, risk management, and customer service. Wema Bank in Lagos has adopted advanced data management practices to ensure the accuracy, security, and accessibility of financial information. By integrating data warehousing, real-time analytics, and robust data governance frameworks, the bank has streamlined its operations and improved the overall quality of its services (Ogunleye, 2023). These practices enable Wema Bank to extract actionable insights from large datasets, which support strategic planning, customer segmentation, and personalized service delivery. Efficient data management also plays a vital role in regulatory compliance, helping the bank meet stringent reporting requirements and mitigate risks associated with data breaches (Adenola, 2024). However, challenges such as data silos, integration issues with legacy systems, and rapidly evolving technology standards can impede the effectiveness of these practices. This study examines the data management practices employed by Wema Bank, evaluating their impact on business banking performance and identifying areas for further improvement (Chukwu, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite robust data management initiatives, Wema Bank faces challenges in achieving a seamless data integration framework that fully supports business banking operations. Data inconsistencies and siloed information across different departments hinder the bank’s ability to provide a unified view of customer profiles and operational performance (Ogunleye, 2023). Moreover, the integration of modern data management systems with legacy infrastructures poses significant challenges, leading to delays in data processing and potential inaccuracies. High maintenance costs and the need for continuous staff training further complicate the effective use of data analytics. Additionally, cybersecurity concerns related to data storage and transmission expose the bank to risks that can compromise sensitive financial information (Adenola, 2024). These issues collectively impair decision-making processes and reduce operational efficiency, affecting customer satisfaction and profitability. This study aims to identify these challenges and propose strategies to optimize data management practices in business banking.
