Background of the Study
Mobile banking integration is transforming investment banking by providing enhanced accessibility, faster transaction processing, and improved customer engagement. Zenith Bank has incorporated mobile banking platforms into its investment banking operations to streamline service delivery and meet the evolving needs of its diverse clientele (Balogun, 2023). Mobile solutions enable clients to execute transactions, access real-time market data, and receive personalized financial advice via smartphones and tablets. This digital shift not only reduces operational costs but also facilitates broader market penetration, particularly among tech-savvy customers. Zenith Bank’s strategy involves integrating mobile applications with existing IT infrastructure, optimizing user experience, and ensuring robust security protocols. However, the integration of mobile banking poses challenges related to system interoperability, data security, and regulatory compliance. This study investigates the impact of mobile banking integration on Zenith Bank’s investment banking performance, evaluating improvements in transaction speed, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency. It also identifies the obstacles faced during integration and proposes strategies to overcome them, ensuring that mobile banking contributes positively to the bank’s competitive advantage.
Statement of the Problem
Zenith Bank faces challenges in fully integrating mobile banking solutions into its investment banking operations. A major issue is the compatibility between mobile platforms and legacy systems, which can lead to data inconsistencies and operational inefficiencies (Okoro, 2023). In addition, security concerns, including the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks on mobile channels, pose significant threats to client trust and regulatory compliance. The rapid pace of technological change requires continuous system upgrades and staff training, which can strain resources. These challenges may undermine the expected benefits of enhanced transaction speed and improved customer engagement. This study aims to identify the key obstacles to effective mobile banking integration at Zenith Bank and evaluate their impact on overall performance, thereby proposing strategies for improved interoperability and security.
