Background of the Study
Personalized banking, which tailors financial services to meet individual customer needs, has become a significant competitive advantage in the retail banking sector. Zenith Bank in Ogun State has adopted personalized banking strategies by leveraging customer data and advanced analytics to offer customized product recommendations, targeted promotions, and individualized support. By creating tailored experiences, the bank aims to enhance customer satisfaction and foster long-term loyalty. Research indicates that personalization leads to higher customer engagement, as services that address specific needs result in greater perceived value (Okeke, 2023). Zenith Bank’s efforts include the integration of CRM systems and AI-driven solutions that analyze customer behavior and preferences in real time. These initiatives enable the bank to deliver dynamic, personalized interactions across various channels—whether in branch, online, or via mobile applications—thereby reducing friction and improving overall service quality. However, the implementation of personalized banking also brings challenges, such as data privacy concerns, the risk of misinterpreting customer preferences, and the potential for uneven service quality if not managed consistently. This study examines the effect of personalized banking on customer satisfaction at Zenith Bank, exploring both the benefits of tailored service delivery and the challenges that must be overcome to ensure a seamless, secure, and satisfying customer experience (Chinwe, 2024; Akinola, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
While personalized banking initiatives are designed to boost customer satisfaction, Zenith Bank faces significant obstacles in their effective implementation. Some customers have reported concerns over data security and privacy, which may diminish their willingness to share personal information necessary for customization. Additionally, inconsistencies in the personalization process—stemming from variations in data quality and analysis—can lead to mismatched product recommendations and service experiences that do not meet customer expectations. Such discrepancies undermine the potential benefits of personalization and may result in customer dissatisfaction. Moreover, the operational complexity and high costs associated with maintaining sophisticated CRM systems pose further challenges. These issues collectively create a gap between the intended benefits of personalized banking and the actual customer experience, negatively impacting overall satisfaction and loyalty. Addressing these challenges is essential for ensuring that personalization translates into tangible improvements in service quality and customer retention. This study seeks to investigate these issues, quantify their impact on satisfaction, and propose strategies for enhancing the reliability and security of personalized banking services.
