Background of the Study
Mobile banking solutions have emerged as critical drivers for business banking growth, offering unprecedented convenience and accessibility. Heritage Bank, Kano, has adopted mobile banking platforms to provide business clients with round-the-clock access to financial services, including fund transfers, account management, and loan applications. These platforms leverage advanced technologies such as biometric authentication, real-time notifications, and user-friendly interfaces to create seamless banking experiences (Olayinka, 2023). By integrating mobile solutions with core banking systems, Heritage Bank aims to reduce transaction times, lower operational costs, and enhance customer engagement, all of which contribute to business growth.
Mobile banking also facilitates the collection and analysis of customer data, enabling the bank to tailor products and services to meet specific client needs. The digital interface supports efficient communication and fosters a proactive approach to customer service. However, the adoption of mobile banking solutions comes with challenges such as inconsistent network connectivity, cybersecurity risks, and varying levels of digital literacy among business clients (Ibrahim, 2024).
Heritage Bank’s strategic initiative to enhance its mobile banking platform is a response to the growing demand for digital-first banking experiences in a competitive market. This study examines the impact of mobile banking on business banking growth at Heritage Bank, focusing on its contribution to customer acquisition, retention, and operational efficiency. The research further explores the challenges faced during implementation and proposes measures to optimize mobile banking for sustained growth (Adeleke, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite the clear advantages of mobile banking, Heritage Bank, Kano, faces several obstacles that impede its potential for driving business banking growth. A significant problem is the inconsistency of mobile network connectivity, which can disrupt service delivery and frustrate users (Chinwe, 2023). Additionally, cybersecurity vulnerabilities pose risks to sensitive financial data, undermining customer trust and limiting adoption.
Another issue is the digital literacy gap among some business clients, which reduces the effective use of mobile banking applications. Resistance to change from both customers and internal staff further hampers the adoption process, leading to underutilization of available digital features. The high costs associated with system maintenance and continuous upgrades also strain resources, preventing the bank from fully realizing the benefits of mobile banking solutions. These challenges create a gap between the anticipated growth driven by mobile banking and the operational realities faced by Heritage Bank, necessitating a thorough examination of the barriers and potential solutions (Ogunleye, 2024).
