 The banking industry in Nigeria is now facing unprecedented competition from non-traditional banking institutions, which now offer banking and financial service over the internet. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of electronic banking on the Nigeria banking system. This study among other reasons would help to enlighten operators in the banking sector and other concerned individuals and organization on the adoption of Electronic Banking. The research basically identified the technical and operational challenges facing E-Banking in First Bank of Nigeria Plc. and such ways by which they could be tackled. It also exposes the strength and weakness of electronic banking.

The study uses both the primary and secondary data. Primary data was collected by the researcher through the use of questionnaire, while the secondary data was collected from CBN electronic banking guidelines, annual report of First Bank of Nigeria Plc.

The sample was drawn from the credit officers of First Bank of Nigeria Plc. A total of sixty (60) officers were randomly selected for the study. The method of data analysis was based on both descriptive and inferential statistics. Also, correlation analysis was done using the SPSS software to examine the association between variables so as to arrive at valid conclusion.

The result of the analysis shows that majority (94%) of the respondent attest to the fact that the transition from traditional to electronic banking has affected the overall banking performance, while (3%) of the respondents disagreed. similarly, majority (90%) of the respondents agreed that electronic banking has helped to ease banking transaction, while (10%) of the respondents were indifferent regarding their views. it was also revealed that majority (84%) of the respondents supported the claim that electronic banking tends to be cheaper in terms of operational cost than the traditional banking, while (16%) disagreed.

In conclusion, the transition from traditional to electronic banking has affected the overall performance of the banks by making banking transaction easier and faster for customers and providing them with better service and also leads to reduction in operational cost of banks. It was further recommended that government should try to provide uninterrupted power supply for the banking system because without power supply, electronic banking cannot function effectively and that the Central Bank of Nigeria who regulates all the activities of the banks have a role to play in enhancing the system through the promotion of effective banking and monetary policies.
