IMPACT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ON CUSTOMER SERVICE DELIVERY (A CASE STUDY OF UBA BRANCH)
Abstract
This study examines the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on customer service delivery, with a specific focus on a branch of the United Bank for Africa (UBA). In today’s competitive banking environment, effective customer service is a critical factor in retaining customers and enhancing their overall satisfaction. ICT has emerged as a transformative tool, enabling banks to improve service efficiency, responsiveness, and accessibility.
The research explores how ICT solutions such as online banking, automated teller machines (ATMs), customer relationship management (CRM) systems, and mobile banking applications have influenced service delivery at UBA. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, data were collected through surveys, interviews, and the analysis of service performance metrics from the selected UBA branch.
The findings reveal that the integration of ICT in UBA’s customer service operations has significantly enhanced service delivery by reducing transaction times, increasing customer access to banking services, and improving the accuracy and reliability of service interactions. However, the study also identifies challenges, including the need for continuous system upgrades, the training of staff to manage ICT tools effectively, and addressing customer concerns related to security and privacy.
The study concludes that while ICT has a positive impact on customer service delivery at UBA, the bank must continually adapt to technological advancements and customer expectations to maintain a competitive edge. Recommendations include investing in advanced ICT infrastructure, ongoing staff training, and enhancing cybersecurity measures to protect customer data.
This research contributes to the understanding of how ICT can be leveraged to improve customer service in the banking sector, offering insights that can inform strategies for other financial institutions aiming to enhance their service delivery.
