Bank as providing short term finance has undergone an economic metamorphosis

a degree completion resulting in innovation and product development or service
development. A number of banks had been forced to patronize the capital market
to source for fund in form of capital. Thus, the current wave of development of
new service product become a reaction by bankers to the consciousness aroused
with respect to the treatment to be met out to customer as well as the need for
sound improvement on their liquidity position and capital base.
However, the new service products are directly aimed at mobilizing deposit

corporate customers. And with the target of providing a corporate finance
services to corporate body with capital project through their corporate finance
unit with the aim of generation more profit or income.

secrecy as professional ethic of the job.
