Background of the Study:
Regulatory compliance is a cornerstone of corporate banking operations, ensuring that banks adhere to legal standards and maintain financial stability. Stanbic IBTC Bank in Abuja operates within a stringent regulatory framework that mandates adherence to various national and international standards, including anti-money laundering (AML) guidelines, capital adequacy norms, and consumer protection measures (Ibrahim, 2024). Compliance not only mitigates risks but also builds trust with corporate clients and investors. Stanbic IBTC Bank has invested in robust compliance systems and regular internal audits to monitor adherence and address any gaps promptly. The integration of regulatory compliance into daily operations is critical for maintaining a stable and competitive corporate banking environment. However, frequent regulatory changes, complex documentation requirements, and high compliance costs can strain operational resources and affect service delivery. This study investigates the effectiveness of regulatory compliance in the corporate banking operations of Stanbic IBTC Bank, evaluating its impact on operational efficiency, risk management, and customer trust (Okafor, 2023).
Statement of the Problem:
Despite rigorous compliance systems, Stanbic IBTC Bank faces challenges in maintaining uniform adherence to regulatory requirements. Rapid regulatory changes and the complexity of compliance procedures often lead to operational disruptions and increased costs, which can adversely affect service quality and customer satisfaction.
Objectives of the Study:
• To evaluate the effectiveness of regulatory compliance practices in Stanbic IBTC Bank’s corporate banking operations.
• To identify challenges associated with regulatory changes and compliance procedures.
• To propose strategies to streamline compliance processes while maintaining high service quality.
Research Questions:
