Background of the Study:
Online banking platforms have transformed the retail banking experience by providing customers with 24/7 access to financial services. Wema Bank in Ogun State has been at the forefront of this digital revolution, investing in sophisticated online banking systems designed to offer convenience, speed, and a user-friendly interface. The increasing reliance on online banking has been driven by a growing customer demand for services that are both accessible and efficient. This shift is further accentuated by the widespread adoption of smartphones and improved internet connectivity, which have collectively redefined the way customers interact with their banks (Okafor, 2023).
Wema Bank’s online platform is designed to address the evolving needs of a diverse customer base. It offers a range of functionalities, including account management, fund transfers, bill payments, and financial planning tools, all of which contribute to a seamless banking experience. The bank’s commitment to digital innovation is evident in its continuous efforts to upgrade its systems and integrate advanced features that enhance security and usability (Ibrahim, 2024). Customer satisfaction in this context is not solely dependent on the availability of services but also on the ease of use, reliability, and overall quality of the user experience. As such, understanding customer satisfaction with online banking platforms has become a critical area of research for banking institutions aiming to maintain a competitive edge (Chukwu, 2025).
However, challenges persist in ensuring that online banking platforms meet the high expectations of modern consumers. Issues such as system downtime, interface complexity, and concerns over data security can negatively impact customer satisfaction. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change requires constant innovation and adaptation, which can be resource-intensive and may lead to occasional service disruptions. This study aims to critically examine the level of customer satisfaction with Wema Bank’s online banking platform, identifying the key factors that contribute to a positive user experience and exploring areas where improvements can be made. The research will provide insights into how online banking can be optimized to better meet customer needs in an increasingly digital financial landscape (Afolabi, 2023).
Statement of the Problem:
Despite the significant advancements in online banking, customer satisfaction remains a critical challenge for Wema Bank in Ogun State. Many customers report difficulties related to system reliability, complex navigation, and concerns about the security of their financial data. These issues not only hinder the seamless usage of online platforms but also affect the overall trust in digital banking services. The gap between customer expectations and actual service delivery has been widening due to rapid technological changes and inconsistent system performance (Babatunde, 2024).
Moreover, while Wema Bank has invested in upgrading its online systems, there remains a lack of comprehensive feedback mechanisms that accurately capture customer experiences and pinpoint specific areas of dissatisfaction. The absence of effective communication channels further exacerbates the problem, leading to frustration among users who feel their concerns are not being adequately addressed. This study seeks to investigate the factors that influence customer satisfaction with online banking at Wema Bank, focusing on aspects such as system performance, user interface design, and data security. The findings will be instrumental in identifying the bottlenecks that impede a smooth banking experience and in developing strategies to enhance customer satisfaction in the digital banking arena (Olufemi, 2025).
