Background of the Study
Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data analytics are reshaping investment banking services. Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has been at the forefront of adopting these innovations to enhance service delivery, streamline operations, and improve customer engagement. The integration of emerging technologies allows the bank to automate routine processes, reduce operational costs, and offer personalized financial services (Ifeanyi, 2023). GTBank’s digital transformation includes AI-driven customer service platforms, blockchain-based transaction systems, and advanced data analytics for market forecasting, which facilitate faster transaction processing and improved risk management. Academic literature suggests that adopting emerging technologies drives operational efficiency and opens new revenue streams by enabling innovative financial products (Obi, 2024). However, integrating new technologies poses challenges such as high implementation costs, cybersecurity threats, and the need for ongoing staff training to adapt to evolving systems. This study examines the impact of emerging technologies on GTBank’s investment banking services, evaluating both improvements in operational efficiency and challenges in technology adoption. The research analyzes case studies, performance metrics, and industry trends to provide a comprehensive assessment of how emerging technologies influence service delivery and competitive positioning.
Statement of the Problem
Despite their transformative potential, emerging technologies present significant challenges for GTBank. The primary problem is the high cost and complexity of technology implementation, which can strain resources and divert focus from core operations (Nwachukwu, 2024). The rapid pace of technological change may render systems obsolete quickly, necessitating continuous investments in upgrades and staff training. Cybersecurity threats are a constant concern, as reliance on digital platforms increases exposure to data breaches and fraud. Moreover, integrating new technologies with existing legacy systems often presents compatibility issues that disrupt seamless operations. Regulatory challenges further complicate technology adoption, as evolving guidelines may not keep pace with innovation. This study seeks to explore how GTBank navigates these obstacles while harnessing emerging technologies to enhance its investment banking services, aiming to identify barriers to effective integration and propose strategies to optimize technology adoption.
