Background of the Study
Digital banking innovation has significantly altered the landscape of financial product development, enabling banks to diversify their offerings to meet evolving customer needs. Co-operative Bank of Nigeria has harnessed digital technologies to expand its product portfolio by introducing innovative financial products such as tailored loan packages, digital savings schemes, and investment platforms (Ogunleye, 2023). These innovations are driven by data analytics, mobile banking, and artificial intelligence, which allow the bank to offer personalized solutions that cater to various customer segments. Financial product diversification is vital for risk management and revenue stability, as it spreads risk across multiple product lines and reduces reliance on traditional revenue streams (Ibrahim, 2024).
However, despite the potential benefits, the process of product diversification through digital innovation is complex. Challenges include regulatory constraints, integration issues with legacy systems, and customer adoption barriers due to limited digital literacy (Chinwe, 2025). This study will evaluate how digital banking innovations have influenced financial product diversification at Co-operative Bank of Nigeria by examining product performance data, customer adoption rates, and market trends. The objective is to determine whether these innovations have led to a broader and more resilient product portfolio, thereby enhancing the bank’s competitive position and overall financial stability.
Statement of the Problem
Co-operative Bank of Nigeria faces challenges in fully capitalizing on digital banking innovations to diversify its financial products. Although the bank has introduced new digital products, customer uptake has been inconsistent, and integration issues with legacy systems have hindered seamless product delivery (Olutola, 2023). Regulatory constraints and limited digital literacy among some customer segments further impede the bank’s ability to offer a diversified product range effectively. This disconnect between digital innovation efforts and actual product diversification outcomes has resulted in missed opportunities for revenue growth and risk mitigation. The study seeks to identify the operational, regulatory, and customer-related factors that limit the effectiveness of digital product diversification and propose strategic measures to enhance the bank’s product portfolio.
Objectives of the Study
– To evaluate the impact of digital banking innovations on product diversification at Co-operative Bank.
– To identify challenges affecting the adoption of diversified financial products.
– To recommend strategies for enhancing financial product diversification.
Research Questions
– How do digital innovations influence product diversification?
– What challenges limit the adoption of diversified financial products?
– What measures can improve product diversification and customer adoption?
Research Hypotheses

– H₃: Enhanced customer education improves the adoption of new financial products.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on Co-operative Bank of Nigeria’s digital product initiatives. Data will be gathered from product performance reports, customer surveys, and market analyses. Limitations include evolving regulatory environments and varying customer digital literacy levels.
