Background of the Study
Mobile banking has revolutionized the financial landscape by offering customers unparalleled convenience and accessibility. Ecobank Nigeria has been at the forefront of this transformation by promoting the adoption of mobile banking solutions among its customer base. With features such as instant fund transfers, real-time account monitoring, and digital wallet services, mobile banking has redefined customer convenience by reducing the need for physical branch visits (Ajayi, 2023). Ecobank’s strategy integrates user-friendly mobile applications with robust security protocols, enabling customers to perform a wide array of banking operations seamlessly and securely (Ijeoma, 2024).
The rapid adoption of mobile banking is supported by advancements in telecommunications and the increasing penetration of smartphones. This trend not only reflects changing consumer preferences but also aligns with broader economic goals of financial inclusion and operational efficiency. Research in the field suggests that when banks provide reliable and convenient mobile platforms, customer satisfaction and loyalty are significantly enhanced (Okoro, 2025). Furthermore, the bank’s continuous efforts to upgrade its mobile interface and incorporate customer feedback have contributed to a dynamic, responsive digital environment. Despite these successes, challenges remain in ensuring that all customer segments can effectively utilize mobile banking services. Issues such as digital literacy, network reliability, and occasional security concerns have been noted as impediments to broader adoption. This study aims to critically assess the impact of mobile banking adoption on customer convenience at Ecobank Nigeria, providing insights into the factors that drive or hinder its widespread acceptance.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the widespread adoption of mobile banking, Ecobank Nigeria faces challenges that affect the overall convenience experienced by its customers. While many users benefit from enhanced accessibility and faster transaction times, a significant number of customers encounter difficulties such as application glitches, complex navigation interfaces, and security concerns that deter full utilization of mobile services (Olu, 2023). Moreover, the rapid pace of technological evolution means that the bank must frequently update its mobile platform, sometimes leading to compatibility issues and temporary service disruptions. These problems are further exacerbated by varying levels of digital literacy among the customer base, resulting in a segmented user experience. The gap between the potential benefits of mobile banking and the practical challenges encountered by users raises questions about the overall effectiveness of Ecobank’s digital strategy. The study, therefore, seeks to determine how mobile banking adoption translates into customer convenience and to identify the key obstacles that prevent optimal usage (Chinonso, 2025).
