CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Bank marketing has been defined as the creation and delivery of services that will satisfy the needs of customers at a profit to the bank. From the definition above, it is seen that the customer who is the ultimate target of bank marketing must be satisfied. With the cut throat competition in the banking sub-sector, marketing becomes imperative equally as the provision of services itself. There is need for aggressive and persuasive marketing of banking services to protect a banks existing customers base and to acquire more chunk of the market. Nation-wide, banking institutions are recognized as a very vital institutions for economic development of a nation and in this state specifically, the banking sector is said to play a more important role in the national economy than it does in any other developing countries.
In Nigeria, the business of banking was stated in 1893 by the bank of British West African while demand for banks owned by Nigerian businessmen or by the Nigerian government dates bank to over five decades ago.

The greatest challenge for Nigerian Bank marketers is practicing what they preach. If a bank says it has all the information on a certain service, the people on the line should be in a position to answer question when customers walk in. Services are still very poor, although the increase in the number of banks has led to an intense competition even then the competition has not gone beyond that of attracting deposits through an array of innovations rather than a complete improvement in their
