INTRODUCTION
Banking
in Nigeria
was carried out devoid of any electronic devices until the middle of 1980s. The
operations of bank were mostly manual and fraught with attendant problem of
poor services delivery.
The
era of new generation bank brought into the banking industry competition and
need to provide quality services to the banking public.
This
brought about the need for some form of automated system. Kyari (2002), acknowledged this fact when he admitted that banks
began to invest in computer for basic office in automation and processing, and
then later extended to provision of banking services.
This
era also brought about massive installation of computer system and the
introduction of the first set of electronic banking system devices such as
automated teller, machine (ATM) to
the banking public with the establishment of more bank in the early 1990s that
led to the integration of banking system and ledger bank were replaced by
computing system.
The
growing need for better services made it mandatory for banking to develop
faster settlements among banks that lead to the funding of Nigerian
inter-settlement scheme- granting owned by banks.
The
central bank in response to this also began the computerization of its system
and processes. The introduction of the Magnetic Ink Character- Recording (MICR) check in the number of days it takes
to clear a cheque through the Nigerian banking system.
The Magnetic
Ink Character Recording (MICR) was
yet to be very successful through by middle of 1990s, most banks had introduced
some forms of automation or computerization in their operation.
Before
financial globalization become popular, financial liberalization efficiency in
the financial sector, many African countries embarked on financial
liberalization reforms as part of their recommend.
Structural Adjustment Programme:
The
crucial message of the financial liberalization, thesis (Mekinnum 1973), show that it is lack of competition that bring
inefficiency to this sector, interest rate liberalization is a first step, but
it is recognized that this alone is not likely to generate competition in the
market because of the already oligopolistic nature of it.
Consequently,
not only is there a need to increase the number of players in this market for
which a country may be required to go beyond its own domestic boundary.
To
increase the number of players there is need to remove entry restrictions, so
that non- financial intermediaries as well as foreign banks can enter the
market easily. In order to top a large post of savings, there is a need, not
only to remove control, but also to relax laws relating to takeover and merging
activities.
This
implies that there is need to liberalize the external sector of the bank
sector. Forced with the gravity of financial crises that occurred in several
countries between 1994 and 2002, a number of questions have been raised regarding
the underlying basis of financial globalization especially cross-boarder
capital movement.
