Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI)–driven analytics is transforming corporate banking by enabling more accurate risk assessments, personalized customer services, and real-time decision-making. Ecobank Nigeria, Abuja, has been at the forefront of adopting AI analytics to process large datasets and generate actionable insights that enhance performance and competitiveness (Ogunleye, 2023). By leveraging machine learning algorithms and predictive modeling, the bank is able to automate routine processes, improve fraud detection, and tailor financial products to individual client needs (Ibrahim, 2024). AI analytics also facilitates rapid response to market fluctuations and supports strategic decision-making by providing comprehensive data visualizations and trend analyses.
The integration of AI into banking operations not only enhances operational efficiency but also drives customer satisfaction and revenue growth. With improved accuracy in credit scoring and risk evaluation, Ecobank can reduce loan defaults and better manage its asset portfolio. However, the deployment of AI–driven systems comes with challenges such as data quality issues, algorithm bias, and the need for specialized technical expertise (Adeleke, 2025). Moreover, ensuring regulatory compliance and safeguarding customer data in an AI-enhanced environment remains a significant concern. This study explores how AI–driven analytics impacts corporate banking performance at Ecobank, focusing on operational improvements, risk management, and customer engagement.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the transformative potential of AI–driven analytics, Ecobank Nigeria, Abuja, faces several challenges in its implementation. One critical issue is the quality and consistency of data fed into AI systems; discrepancies and incomplete data sets can lead to erroneous outputs and impact decision-making (Chinwe, 2023). Additionally, integrating AI analytics with existing legacy systems often poses technical difficulties, resulting in operational disruptions and inefficiencies. The high cost of acquiring and maintaining AI infrastructure, coupled with the need for continuous staff training, further strains the bank’s resources (Ogunleye, 2024).
Furthermore, algorithmic biases and cybersecurity risks are emerging concerns, as any vulnerability can compromise sensitive financial data and erode customer trust. Regulatory challenges add another layer of complexity, as the bank must ensure that its AI applications comply with strict data protection standards. These issues highlight a significant gap between the expected benefits of AI–driven analytics and the practical obstacles encountered during its implementation, thereby affecting overall corporate banking performance.
