DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AUTOMATED BANKING MODEL

(A CASE STUDY OF OSPOLY MICROFINANCE BANK, IREE)

ABSTRACT

All commercial application developed (irrespective of the programming environment used) are to business models. Applications help to computerize business models. It is the computerization process that empowers a business model to capture, validate, store and manipulate business data at the highest speed possible. A microfinance Banking business model has business processes that manipulate data associated with savings accounts, current account, deposits and withdrawals for each type of account, fixed deposits, and loans and so on. There business processes are in some way associated with money transaction since money is the core product of this business model. The project which looks into the development of Banking Model was deigned to process the customer registration, generate new account number give report in a faster and more efficient way with the use of computer. VB 6.0 was used to develop and implement the system

CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION

Banking in Nigeria is said to have a long history since Nigeria become independent in 1960. According to history in 1872, the Africa Banking Co-operative Stated her operation in Lagos, Nigeria. The Operation of cooperation was transferred to the Bank of British of West Africa.

However, as the populations of Nigeria citizens begin to increase the Banking System begin to encounter some predicaments due to the manual mode of banking operation. The document in technology made it possible for banks to overboard the problem of manual processing poor decision making and the problem of inter connection within the banking sector which welcomes a full automated processing system such as networking system for banking transaction, information technology, which enhanced the decision-making process and alternative delivery channels. Which includes Mobile Banking Online Banking, PC Banking and the use of ATM (Automated Teller Machine)?

In recent years, significant technology advances have been made in the field banking, both in Nigeria and in International level. The penetration of such technology in business has been limited especially in countries where the majority of their business re small or medium. The effort to adopt E-banking or E-Business technology and solution has targeted the end consumer (Business To consumer)
BTC, and more rarely takes into account real (Application-To-Application) ATA, a field that is bound to make an impact in speed, security and accuracy of business transaction and will ultimately boost the adoption of E-Banking system.

Despite the rising pace at which information technology is being deployed, the majority of several millions of daily transaction among the above entities are skill carried out in the traditional manners i.e. the manual made the sending the various transaction documents through mail or fax, manually inserting data in enterprise resource planning (ERP) or customer relationship management (CRM) application or at best, manually filling on-line web pages offered by bank or Government Agencies based on the above inadequacy and on the absence of enlightening new

Approaches at the same level, most of the companies (Banks) a waste significant effort and resources while not entrusting the internet and current bank-to-bank (BTB) or bank-to-customer (BTC) application for their transactions.

It took the entire industry several years of developments to achieve reliable, secure, convenient and efficient BTC transaction through the web. Business application inter-connection is a far more difficult task, how different proprietary internal system for accounting, order processing, and supply-chain management be modified to exchange data through the web reliably securely and in a standardized open way, so that a custom solution for each business relationships is not required.

1.  STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM 

Through the banking sector is one of the most profitable sector of economy high performance could be measured in terms of their returns, an obligation to the society. The decline in performance of the Nigeria Banking system is due to the array of problem in their day-to-day transaction which is not reliable; secure efficient and relationship between their customers. It is not giving their customer the right treatment that they need.

The magnitude of this problem, brings about a research project among to develop a standardized way of doing transaction safe it an efficiently between business entities. And also interconnect them with Government information system.

1. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

In order to test the system spastically however it is formulated in testable form with operation. Definition of the banking model relationship as a statistical tool for research work i.e. Hypothesis Hi.

The null and the alternative hypothesis are either true or false which allow us to consider just two actions and the outcome for each hypothesis depending on whether it is true or false. The hypothesis carried out shows that keeping on-line customers is worth the effort, because keeping on-line customers increase banks profitability. They are often assumed to be more profitable than off-line customers, because they are better educated and earn higher incomes, still a study controlling for this self-selection bias shows that the internet channels alone increase a customer’s profitability to the bank by impressive percent.

Ho means there is no significant profitability effort for the on-line customers or end users.

Hi means there is significant profitability for the on-line customers or end users.

1. THE AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The aim and objective of these research project is to develop and pilot deployment of the necessary methodologies, technology infrastructures, business and set up that will allow the average Nigeria to carry out a significant portion of its business transaction (Banking and Transaction) over the internet through the interconnection of enterprise resources planning (ERP) applications between enterprises, banking institution and the public sector.

       Most especially, the general aims and objective are:

1. To design and develop  an easy, adaptable and financially alternative solution for the average Nigerian small or medium  enterprises and the public by hiding the complexity of the E-Banking system from the regular user and developing a low cost product.
2. To study and emphasis on the particular important issues of data and transactions security as well as the protection of interchanging parties through modern security infrastructures.
3. The continues-dissemination of the methodologies and the technical know how that is developed through the project towards both the academic and industrial worlds, in the form of scientific paper publications, international conference presentations and workshop bringing together field experts.

1.3 THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is to cover some of the loop holes that can be seen in the Banking model for the past years which their customers has been finding it difficult to use in a correct manner, security and ease-of- use may be odds, for example, strong passwords provide security but are difficult to remember by the users.

The study also covered and lay emphasis on the causes of banking model which are:

1. HCI Design: Design and implement for user interface for banking model client, such as bundling of a set of payment, one-time task, such as installation of a digital signature base client.

2. Account number validation: The system should be able to validate the number typed by the users.
