This paper assesses the effect ofidentity management reform, namely the Bank verification number (BVN) policy on fraud prevention in the Nigerian banking industry. Using secondary data obtained from annual reports of Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) from 2011 to 2018, the study employed descriptive method to analyze trend in fraud variables before and after introduction of the policy and independent t-test to test the hypotheses in the study. Findings revealed that there was an initial decrease in number of staff involved and total amount involved in fraud in the two years following BVN introduction, but which showed increases thereafter.A similar trend was revealed in various fraud types with internet banking fraud showing significant increases in frequency of cases. The results from the t-tests revealed that theBVN policy had no significant impact on fraud prevention within the period under study. It was recommended that the banking public be educated on the different types of fraud and how to protect their personal details from getting into wrong hands. There is also the need to beef up security by improving on protocols required to carry out bank transactions particularly in the area of internet banking. It was also suggested that all bank account numbers be linked to the National Identity Number (NIN) immediately in line with proposals made by the Federal Government on identity management.

The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of electronic banking on profitability in the Nigeria banking industry. An inferential survey research design was adopted. Primary data were collected through questionnaires from both staff and customers of the surveyed bank. It was complemented with secondary data sourced from the company’s audited financial statements for the period 2010 to 2017. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics while testing of the hypotheses was done using multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that cards play a significant role more than other channels and immediately followed by ATM. Also, it was observed that E-Banking channels contributed to Bank's profitability, that E-banking services (EBS) had an influence on the retention and loyalty of bank's customers and that the quality of service, security, reliability and efficiency have a definite impact on the usage of the services of e-banking. It was recommended that the Nigerian banking industry should invest more in card products, followed by ATM amongst other electronic channels; as they generate more revenues for the bank. The study also recommended further development of other channels (Mobile, Corporate Payments, POS and internet banking) to further enhance their contribution to the bank's profitability. Nigerian banks should also create a business strategy that is customer-centric by being continuously innovative in identifying the needs of their customers and improving on their products offering while developing new ones, to retain and keep the loyalty of their existing customers while attracting new ones.

Intangible assets, such as information, are becoming increasingly essential to companies. Intellectual capital is another term for knowledge assets. The aim of this study is to find empirical evidence of the influence of intellectual capital and intellectual capital disclosure on firm valuation, as well as to identify the types of disclosures made by the banking industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015-2019. The data used in the analysis were secondary data from annual reports. A six-way numerical coding scheme determines the disclosure item index. With 36 disclosure objects, the disclosure categories are divided into three categories: structural capital, human capital, and external capital. Content analysis and multiple linear regression are two data analysis methods. The results of the analysis show that an average of 49.91 percent is expressed in the form of a narrative, 16.44 percent is in the form of a combination of qualitative and quantitative, 7.53 percent is in the form of numbers and 1.44 items are expressed in the form of monetary units (rupiah). Meanwhile, an average of 24.33 percent of items of disclosure were not disclosed. Intellectual capital disclosure has a positive impact on firm value, while intellectual capital has no impact. According to research, investors in the banking industry consider intellectual capital disclosure when making investments.


Granting of loans and advances remains one of the ways deposit money banks generate income to boost their performance. However, as important as this appears, it has led to incidence of rising non-performing loans in the credit portfolio of deposit money banks. Against this backdrop, this study investigated the effect of credit management on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study employed secondary data sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and annual reports of Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) from 1986 to2016. From the data, bank performance (dependent variable) was measured by return on assets (ROA) while credit management (independent variable) was proxied by ratio of non-performing loans to total loans (NPFL), bank deposit (BDEP) and lending rate (LENDR). The study employed autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique to examine the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings revealed that ratio of non-performing loans to total loans with coefficient of -0.362733 had negative effect in the short run but produced positive effect on performance of deposit money banks in the long run as indicated by the coefficient of 1.583503. On the other hand, bank deposit exhibited positive influence while lending rate had negative effect on the dependent variable both in the short run and long run. Given the overall significance of the model, it was concluded that credit management had significant effect on performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. Thus, it was recommended that bank management should endeavor to reduce incidence of non-performing loans by conducting thorough assessment of any credit application prior to approval, especially customer’s character and previous credit record. Also, banks should closely monitor customer’s investment activities to ensure that granted loans are not diverted to unprofitable ventures which the loans are not initially meant for.

The rise in information technologies has transformed banking industry worldwide. To stay competitive, banks are introducing internet banking with the motive to achieve higher productivity and efficiency, reduce cost and increase profit. In Bangladesh, the impact of this new distribution channel in improving bank’s performance is yet to be measured. It is against this backdrop this research is conducted to identify whether performance of banks that has adopted internet banking is different from banks yet to adopt internet banking. Furthermore, it is to be seen whether there is significant change in performance of banks before and after implementation of internet banking. Performance was measured through Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). Secondary data were collected from annual report of all the 30 listed banks in Bangladesh. The results revealed that ROA and ROE of banks with online banking is higher compared to banks without online bank. However, the results were insignificant. Furthermore, ROA and ROE were found out to be lower after implementation of internet banking and is statistically significant. Such findings could be attributed to the initial cost allocated for infrastructure development and fail to attract customer to adopt online banking in mass scale. Thus with investment done, the benefit could not be realized during the initial period of internet banking adoption.

The period for this study covered between 1994 and 2016.

Based on the above findings, the following recommendations are proffered. Accurate and timely reportage of cases of frauds and forgeries activities in the banking sector should be vigorously pursued by bank’s management and regulatory body in Nigeria. This will in no small measure help to reduce and scare from fraudsters and prospective fraudsters from engaging in bank’s fraudulent activities. Finally, in view of the observed inverse relationship between frauds and the performance of the Nigerian banking industry, deliberate efforts with respect to appropriate policies and programs should be made by the respective regulatory authorities in the country to help curtail the incidences of bank related frauds and forgeries.
