CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Forms of banking have been in existence about 500
BC. The early bankers (the jews) lombandy in Italy transacted their business in
the benches in the market place. The word.” Bank” It self is derived from
Italian word “BANCO” which means “Bench” when a banker failed them this bench
was broken up by the angry people (i.e depositors) hence the word “BANKRUPTCY”
was derived from the “BANKCORRUPTION”
which means broken bench.
This types of banking into not begin until the
sixteenth century. Italian goldsmiths working in London began to expand their business
activities to include safe keeping of valuables and money, when such valuables
are represented and thus began to change hand in place of many and valuables.
And become our present day bank notes.
The goldsmith with an age for profit were quick to
realize that some of the money deposited with than could safely be bend out and
realize interest. The practice was to be rewarding and many establishment tried
to take advantages of this way to make easy profit.
Unfortunately due to bad management there were
unconditional leading which led to the collapse of the business. In an attempt
to alleviate. This undesirable situation the British government established the
bank of England
in 1694 and gave it the sole right to issue banknote. Being the first bank of
England it soon brought about either the closure of the main banking system
contained throughout the centuries, until when there are only major banks in
England and all able to trace their origin back to the 16th and 17th
centuries.
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Banking business all over the world is all about
providing various services to customers. These services range from accepting
deposits from customers, payment of cheques on their behalf, issuing of advances
and loans to them. All these are aimed at customers patronage where there is
effective and efficient services provided by the bank.
Customers service is any activity that is aimed at
pleasing or satisfying a client or customers to encourage more and more
patronage.
Banks are not left out of these, this is because
the existence is dependent on how much satisfaction they were able to give
their customers.
However customers service in the banking industry
for sometime now has been at a high deteriorating level. Bankers no longer
recognize the importance of customers satisfaction to the growth of their
business.
They keep them than necessary on the grave, give
them embarrassment by treating them harshly and even in some cases, there is
unusually harassment from the banks security men. The security men are in the
habit of harassing their customers in the area of parking of cars, perhaps,
because some of them are illiterates, they do not know that a customer is
considered a king and a king can do no wrong.
Also, the area of maintaining absolute secrecy
concerning all issues relating to customer’s account and other transaction
affairs is also lacking in banks.
This is making customers to lose confidence in
their bank. A bank that enjoys large patronage of customers is likely to have a
higher profit compared to the one with lower patronage.
In this research work, the researcher shall examine
those areas that the banks are lacking in terms of providing efficient and
effective services to customer the relationship between customer and the
bankers, their right as customers and provide recommendation on how banks
especially First Bank of Nigeria Plc can improve on it’s customers services
relationship.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
Banking business is able about providing various
services to customer. These services range from acceptance of deposited,
payment of cheques. And soon on behalf of the customers, issuing of advice and
loan to customers but this services have not be an effective due to the
following reasons:-
a. Insufficient manpower:- This problem of
lack of competent employee has led to the slow performance of their services to
customers.
b. Lack of proper incentives from banks to
their employee: Incentives have a long way to go in motivating the employee for
put in more of their best in performing their duties. The move on individual is
encourage the better he can per. In carrying out his responsibility. But most
of our banking sectors today find it very difficult to respond to this aspect
of their employer which has course a lot of setback in their services to
customers.
c. Unqualified officer/employees:- One of the
major challenges we are facing in our banking industries today is the problem
of unqualified employee that are not competent in discharging their duties that
has lead to serious delay when attending to customers in their day to day
activities in the banking sectors. Which make customer querying unnecessary
before being attended to.
d. Lack of infrastructural facility e.g power
which has led to network failure most a times, this problem have of course
fluctuation in the services rendered by banks to their customer over the years,
unstable power supply is one of the major challenges that have hamper the
effective services banks could have provided to their customers.
e. High interest charges:- Most customers find
it very difficult to request for loans from our banks because of the level of
interest they may be charged which has led to slow saving and investment which
to some extent has affected the growth of the economy of our nation Nigeria .

f. Analyzing the customers needs and want from
the marketing point of view as seeing the customers as kings and the reason for
their existence as banks.
