Background of the Study:
Digital banking innovation has transformed the financial landscape, particularly in the corporate banking sector where efficiency and speed are critical for business operations. First Bank of Nigeria in Lagos has been a pioneer in integrating advanced digital technologies—such as automated transaction processing, AI-driven analytics, and real-time data management—into its corporate banking services. These innovations aim to streamline operations, reduce turnaround times, and enhance service quality for corporate clients. By leveraging digital platforms, First Bank is able to offer faster loan approvals, improved cash management solutions, and secure electronic fund transfers that cater to the dynamic needs of large-scale businesses. The bank’s digital transformation not only improves internal operational efficiency but also positions it as a competitive force in attracting and retaining corporate customers (Ibrahim, 2024). However, despite these advances, the integration of digital banking solutions also presents challenges such as cybersecurity risks, the need for continual technology upgrades, and the requirement for staff training to handle new systems. This study investigates how digital banking innovations have impacted corporate banking efficiency at First Bank, examining both the benefits and the challenges inherent in this technological evolution. It further explores the implications of these innovations for corporate customer satisfaction and overall business performance, thereby providing insights into the future direction of corporate banking in an increasingly digital environment (Okafor, 2023).

Although digital banking innovations have improved operational efficiency at First Bank, challenges persist. The implementation of cutting-edge technology sometimes leads to system integration issues and cybersecurity vulnerabilities that can disrupt corporate transactions. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological change requires significant ongoing investment in upgrades and staff training, which may strain resources. These factors create a gap between the anticipated efficiency gains and the actual service delivery, potentially undermining customer confidence and competitive positioning.
