Background of the Study :
Digital transformation is reshaping the financial services landscape globally, and Nigeria’s banking sector is no exception. In Lagos State, fintech adoption has emerged as a key driver of change, revolutionizing traditional banking models through innovations such as mobile banking, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. Since 2010, Nigerian banks have increasingly embraced digital platforms to enhance service delivery, reduce operational costs, and improve customer experience (Ojo, 2023). Fintech innovations have not only expanded access to financial services but also increased competition among banks, spurring efficiency and innovation. However, this digital revolution presents challenges including cybersecurity risks, regulatory gaps, and a digital divide among customers. This study evaluates the impact of digital transformation on the Nigerian banking sector by analyzing the extent of fintech adoption, changes in operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The research employs both quantitative data analysis and qualitative insights from industry stakeholders to assess how digital innovations have reshaped banking practices in Lagos State, thereby contributing to economic growth and financial inclusion (Afolabi, 2024).

Issues such as cybersecurity vulnerabilities, regulatory uncertainties, and varying levels of digital literacy among consumers have slowed the sector’s progress. These challenges create gaps between the potential and actual performance of digital banking solutions, limiting improvements in service delivery and customer engagement. This study seeks to examine the obstacles to effective digital transformation and to evaluate the extent to which fintech innovations have impacted operational efficiency and competitiveness in Lagos State (Ojo, 2023).
