Background of the Study
Digital channel consolidation involves integrating various digital service platforms into a single, cohesive interface to improve service delivery and operational efficiency. Co-operative Bank of Nigeria has initiated a digital consolidation strategy that merges its mobile banking, online banking, and digital kiosk services. This integration aims to reduce redundancies, enhance data consistency, and provide customers with a seamless user experience across all digital touchpoints (Adesanya, 2023; Obi, 2023). By unifying these channels, the bank can streamline internal processes, reduce operational costs, and deliver consistent, high-quality services to its customers. Enhanced digital integration not only improves response times but also facilitates more effective customer support and real-time analytics, which are critical for proactive service management.
The consolidated digital strategy is designed to provide a unified customer interface that simplifies navigation and ensures that all digital services are easily accessible. This approach supports the bank’s broader goal of digital transformation by reducing complexity and improving the overall efficiency of service delivery. Moreover, the integration of digital channels enhances the bank’s ability to gather comprehensive customer data, enabling personalized service and targeted marketing efforts. This, in turn, fosters greater customer engagement and satisfaction, which are essential for long-term loyalty and competitive advantage.
Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to consolidate digital channels, Co-operative Bank of Nigeria faces challenges in achieving seamless service delivery. Integration issues between legacy systems and modern digital platforms can lead to data inconsistencies and fragmented user experiences (Obi, 2023). In some instances, customers receive inconsistent information or face delays when switching between channels, which undermines the goal of a unified digital interface. Additionally, the process of consolidating multiple channels requires significant investment in technology and staff training, and resource constraints can impede the full realization of consolidation benefits. The absence of standardized performance metrics further complicates the evaluation of service improvements, making it difficult for management to pinpoint areas needing further optimization. These challenges hamper the bank’s ability to deliver a smooth, integrated service experience to its customers.
