Background of the Study
Digital innovation is rapidly transforming the financial services industry, with investment banking at the forefront of adopting new technologies to enhance service quality. First Bank of Nigeria has undertaken significant digital transformation initiatives—ranging from the implementation of advanced customer relationship management systems to the adoption of artificial intelligence for personalized client interactions—to improve service delivery and operational efficiency (Akinola, 2023). These digital innovations are designed to reduce transaction times, improve accuracy in service delivery, and provide clients with real-time updates and tailored advisory services. The bank’s digital platforms integrate multiple data streams and communication channels, enabling a seamless customer experience that meets the evolving expectations of tech-savvy clients. Moreover, digital innovation supports transparency and accountability by providing measurable performance metrics and feedback loops. However, the integration of cutting-edge technology with existing legacy systems presents challenges in maintaining service consistency. The study examines how digital innovation impacts service quality at First Bank of Nigeria’s investment banking division by analyzing customer satisfaction levels, transaction accuracy, and overall operational efficiency. It also explores the role of employee training and organizational culture in supporting these technological changes. By evaluating internal performance data, customer feedback, and industry benchmarks, this research seeks to determine whether digital innovation translates into tangible improvements in service quality and competitive advantage.
Statement of the Problem
Despite considerable investment in digital technologies, First Bank of Nigeria faces challenges in fully realizing improvements in service quality. A key issue is the difficulty in integrating innovative digital solutions with entrenched legacy systems, which may lead to inconsistent service delivery and data fragmentation (Olu, 2023). Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change requires continuous training and system upgrades, resulting in resource constraints and potential service disruptions. Regulatory compliance and cybersecurity risks further complicate the adoption of digital innovation. These factors can undermine client trust and diminish the expected gains in operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. This study seeks to identify the barriers that prevent optimal utilization of digital innovations and assess their impact on service quality within the investment banking division.
