Background of the Study
Digital banking adoption has transformed the landscape of customer engagement by offering innovative channels for financial transactions, personalized services, and seamless customer interactions. Co-operative Bank of Nigeria has been at the forefront of this digital revolution, deploying mobile banking applications, online portals, and interactive digital tools to improve customer engagement (Ogunleye, 2023). These digital platforms are designed to provide customers with round-the-clock access to financial services, thereby increasing convenience and strengthening the overall relationship between the bank and its customers. By leveraging data analytics and user-friendly interfaces, the bank aims to enhance engagement, build trust, and drive customer loyalty.
Recent studies indicate that higher levels of digital banking adoption are associated with improved customer satisfaction, increased transaction frequency, and a more personalized banking experience (Ibrahim, 2024). However, challenges such as digital literacy gaps, cybersecurity concerns, and technological disruptions can hinder the effective utilization of these digital platforms. This study examines how the adoption of digital banking services at Co-operative Bank of Nigeria influences customer engagement. Data will be collected from digital usage statistics, customer surveys, and performance metrics to evaluate whether increased digital adoption correlates with enhanced engagement and improved financial outcomes. The research aims to provide actionable insights for optimizing digital strategies to ensure that technological investments yield substantial improvements in customer experience.
Statement of the Problem
Despite robust digital banking initiatives, Co-operative Bank of Nigeria faces challenges in achieving uniformly high levels of customer engagement. While a segment of the customer base actively uses digital platforms, others exhibit low adoption due to limited digital literacy, security concerns, or inadequate access to technology (Afolabi, 2023). This digital divide leads to uneven engagement, undermining the bank’s overall customer service objectives. Furthermore, system downtimes and suboptimal user interfaces have, at times, resulted in customer frustration and a decline in trust. The inconsistency in digital service quality, coupled with external challenges such as network instability, hampers the bank’s ability to fully capitalize on its digital investments. This study seeks to identify the barriers to effective digital banking adoption and assess their impact on customer engagement, with the goal of recommending strategies that can enhance digital service utilization and customer satisfaction.
