This study intends to discuss and exchange views on the impact of electronic banking on the performance of banks in Nigeria. Banking has come a long way from the time of ledger cards and other manual filing systems. Most banks today have electronics systems to handle their daily voluminous task of information retrieval storage and processing. Three or four decades ago, banking was a simple business; customers saved their money with banks and received their financial services from banks. When customers open account they received passbook from the banks with which the account would be operated and when it is a current account, they received cheque books for the same purpose.

Excerpt from the Book
1.1 Background to the Study
Banking has come a long way from the time of ledger cards and other manual filing systems. Most banks today have electronics systems to handle their daily voluminous task of information retrieval storage and processing. Three or four decades ago, banking was a simple business; customers saved their money with banks and received their financial services from banks. When customers open account they received passbook from the banks with which the account would be operated and when it is a current account, they received cheque books for the same purpose.
Banking industry of the 21st century operates in a complex and competitive environment characterized by these changing conditions and highly unpredictable economic climate. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is at the centre of this global change curve of electronic banking system in Nigeria today (stevens; 2002) asserts that they have over the time been using electronic and telecommunication networks delivering a wide range of value added products and services. Managers in banking industry of Nigeria cannot ignore information systems because they play a critical impact in current banking system. They point out that the entire cash flow of most fortune banks are linked to information systems.
