Background of the Study
Mobile banking has rapidly evolved to become a cornerstone of financial service delivery, particularly in emerging markets. Ecobank Nigeria has been proactive in enhancing its mobile banking features to improve customer satisfaction. Recent enhancements include biometric login, integrated budgeting tools, real-time transaction alerts, and personalized dashboards—all designed to create an intuitive user interface and streamline banking operations (Ajayi, 2023). These innovations are informed by technology acceptance models and service quality theories, which assert that ease of use and reliability significantly drive customer satisfaction. By continuously updating its mobile app, Ecobank aims to offer seamless access to banking services, reduce transaction errors, and lower service wait times. The bank leverages data analytics to monitor customer usage patterns and tailor features that meet evolving consumer needs. For example, customized notifications and predictive services help customers better manage their finances, thereby strengthening their loyalty and overall satisfaction (Chinwe, 2024). In a highly competitive environment, these feature enhancements are critical for differentiating Ecobank from traditional and digital-only competitors. Furthermore, the bank invests in robust cybersecurity measures to ensure that enhancements do not compromise data security—a key concern for users. Empirical studies have shown that mobile banking features that enhance usability, convenience, and security can lead to increased customer engagement and higher satisfaction levels (Okoro, 2025). Nonetheless, challenges remain in ensuring that the technological improvements are accessible to all customer segments, including those with limited digital literacy. This study, therefore, investigates how these mobile banking enhancements translate into customer satisfaction and identifies any gaps that may hinder the overall user experience.
Statement of the Problem
Despite significant investments in mobile banking enhancements, Ecobank Nigeria experiences variability in customer satisfaction. Some users report exceptional convenience and a positive experience, while others face difficulties such as occasional system lags, inconsistent feature performance on older devices, and confusion over newly introduced functionalities (Olu, 2023). These disparities suggest that the technological enhancements may not be uniformly effective across all customer demographics. In addition, while advanced features have been introduced, insufficient user education and support can lead to underutilization, thereby diminishing the intended benefits. Moreover, rapid technological updates sometimes result in temporary usability issues that further affect customer confidence in the platform. This gap between the potential benefits of mobile banking enhancements and the actual customer experience underscores the need to assess the operational challenges that affect user satisfaction. The study aims to explore the factors contributing to these challenges and provide actionable recommendations to ensure that the mobile banking platform consistently meets customer expectations (Emeka, 2024).
