Final Union Bank1
Final Union Bank1
The banking industry constitutes one of the pillars in which the economy of
any nation rests. The computer has massive effect. On the nature, quality and
structure of works almost everywhere there by becoming largely responsible for the
emergency of the modern post-industrial societies. Proper application of the
computer is a major technical factor affecting organization efficiency and culture
worldwide.
The results of the use of computer union bank in banking sector include:
Direct deposit:- it permit the user to authorize specific deposits, such as pay
cheques and social security cheques, to the account on regular basic.
PC- banking:- personal computer banking permit customer to handle may
banking transaction via- the pc. The customer may use the computer to view the
account balance request, transfer between accounts and pay bills electronically.
Point of sale transfer:- this allows the user to pay for purchase with a debit
card, which also may be the ATM card.

Paying bills on:- line: this is a process whereby remote terminal is linked
directly in to the processor.
The following are steps involves with setting up an on-line paying program.
First the user must decide if bills are going to be paid through the bank
(assuming the banks offer the service) or through a third party vendor.
Check out the on-line banking fees to help the user make the decision.
Once the user have set up the account with the bill paying service provider,
the
user will have to input the address, homes and phone numbers of the payees,
as well as the number for each of the accounts.
Many banks offer lower checking accounts to customer who refer to bank

Bank and other financial institution to the channeling of funds from areas of
surplus to area of deficit and there by ensure that no sector of the economy is
neglected. This is to assess the physical condition of the various facilities provided in
the study area. To examine strategies of the impact of computer application in
modern day banking system in the study area, this brings to tight the problem
inherit(when to examine strategies of the impact of computer application in modern
day quality, a banking services that do not meet the expectation of customers
dissatisfy them. Nwankwo G.O. in this book writes banking is a dynamic service
industry which changes with and adopts to the changing requirement of the economy
with its services. For these transactions, computer can be employed in maintaining
the records.
However, many people were still in debt whether the introduction of computer
to the banking system could have many relative advantages the question thus is,
what are those relative virtues of the computer over the manual system.

1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Most especially, this research project is not being carried out to bring out any
significance; it may have with most especially, this research project is not being
carried out tom bring out any significance, if may have with any other work already
done in this area but mostly importantly, it is aimed at bringing out into focus, the
challenges of the impact of computer application in union bank along Saw Mill Odo
Okun, Ilorin.
There is always a limited scope in any research work. The scope of this
research is therefore on impact of computer application using union bank along Saw
Mill Odo Okun, Ilorin as a case study.
Time constraint and finance were major limitation time constraint on the part
of I writers of this project because I lacked adequate time to carry out necessary
things and gathering all information needed.
Financial also barrier on the side of I writers of this project. Furthermore, the
response of the respondents to the questions asked is not guaranteed, some may
respond and respond correctly while others may not respond or even respond
incorrectly.

CHAPTER TWO
Computer like other electronic equipment uses electricity to work with battery
and called battery powered computers. Every computer work on the instructions
given to it, which determines what, it does and how it is done. The numbers and
letter given to the computer are known as data computer stores the data and the
instructions on its memory, uses the instruction to work on the data could bring out
the answer mostly called the output or information in a way human being can
understand it.
Computer has revolutionized the entire business world most especially, the
banking industries which have must to tend with as a result of large number of
customers. The computer means different thing to different people to some, it is a
terrible complex invention, which is best avoided, while to other it is the “ultimate”
solution to all problems. These are two examples of several misconceptions about
computer while the formal depicts an over whelming technological development the
letter view is rather simplicity as it invariably leads to disappointment and trust ration.

programmed to handle many different types of information to watch the needs of
particular situation.
The computers have been linked to brain which can be trained to lope with
specific problem. They store information in their memory and can also draw in other
source for input devices.
Purpose
Data type
Generations
Size
PURPOSE: These are computer that are designed specially for a particular
operation. They can only handle the specific operation they are designed for air
traffic control, computer used in the army of war, some clinical computer such as
hood analyzer.
DATA TYPE: The largest fastest and most expensive computer system. It is a
time with high degree of accuracy. Examples are Gray x-Mp, Cyber 205.
GENERATIONS: These computers are designed as to save as a wide variety
of problems and not restricted like special purpose. E.g. personal computer.
SIZE: This is based on out big and small the computers are. I.e. their physical
size. It must be noted that today’s technology, the bigger a speed.
WHAT IS BANKING?
These are some terms which seemingly in the way they are used in the
content of this project here operational definition of term or words needing
explanation are definition in their technical sense.

INTERPRETATION: It is a function of accounting, is the interpretation of
summaries date in such a manner that the end user can make meaning judgment
about the financial condition.
CLASSIFICATION: record data are fairly useless unless the can be classified
so that all similar item can be grouped together to distinguish them from the similar
one and thereafter aggregated.
RECORDING: The acts of recording invade putting to writing or in computer,
transaction of financial character reasonable.
COMPUTER: this is an electronic machine that can store, organize and final
information also calculating and control other machine. It can also be defined as an
electronic device which accepts dater through the input unit, process dater through
the central process unit and gives out the output device.
SAVING ACCONT: These are customer account designed to exchanges
small saving on which interest is paid.
FIXED DEPORT ACCONTING: this is account designed for customers that
want to keep huge amount of money which are kept for fixed period of time or year
for certain purpose and depth want to use for immediate usage.
2.3 ROLE AND FUNTION OF BANKING IN NIGERIA
There are so many problems, encountered in the use of role and function
systems banning (saving and current account) system. In saving department of the
bank, customers account are identified by the use of control which may be ordinary
or advanced than code for ordinary control ranges from 01 to 15 semicolon, the
figure to the right to the colon.
The example, 01-358 represent Mr. Ayoola A.D accont number writing as follow:-
6
The control consist of boxes which store ledgers, the ledgers serve the
function of telling the bank of a customers account state next while passbook serve
as to show customers their deposition and it also shows the number of with drawals.
At the end of the day’s job, the credit ledgers are separated and each (debt and
credit) ledger is summed up and added or subtracted from their previous balance.
The summed up is done manually by an adding machine the cashier has to balance
the debt and credit sides of each customer and at this junction, there may be 5,000
to 10,000 ledger which have to be balanced up for the day and total balance
transferred up to the former ledger which tells the total amount of the money in a
box, the result of adding the balance of each box is transferred to the general ledger
which tells the sum total of money in the savings department. All these process
sometimes takes the cashier three or four day the balance up and this slows down
the rate of work in the savings department in the bank.
The history of bank started with the opening of the colonial bank of faces in
Lagos, Jos and port – Harcourt in 1917, in 1925, Barclays bank DCO acquired and
changed it’s name to Barclay bank DCO (Dominion, colonial and overseas) which is
good example of the mixed bank. With the relative development of the bank, the
following years branches were opened in various parts of the country e.g. Aba
branch was opened in 1926, Ijebu– ode in 1931, Bida in 1953, Katsina in 1955 and
the branches at Kano, Kaduna, Ibadan, Ilorin and sapele opened in 1937.
7
After this development, the banks name was changed again to union bank of
Nigeria limited and recently UNION BANK OF NIGERIA PLC to reflect a new
ownership structure.
With the new name, the bank is now on indigenous bank and no longer a
subsidiary of Barclays bank plc although Barclays bank still offers both technical and
correspondent services as in past. Today, union bank was well over 22 branches
nation wide and branch in London. It has a work force of over eleven thousand
employee of which are are expatriation and are in specialized field, are training
centres located at Yaba and Ijora both in Lagos state, port – Harcourt, Jos and Zaria.
The bank also has an asset base of about ₦96 billion and liquid property of over ₦2
billion.
ADVANTAGES
Computers have made many tasks of modern life like buying and banking
more
convenient. We can shop and bank from our homes any time of the day and
night.
Computers have made lot of computational and clerical work easy.
Computer has given easy access to lot of useful information through the
internet.
Computers have made it easy for us to communicate and keep in
touch with others.
Computers have made available to us many new form of entertainment like
computer games.
DISADVANTAGES
8
In spite of continuously reducing prices, computers are still costly as
compared to the pen and pencil they replaced.
Uses of computer require additional efforts in form of developing software and
learning to use computers.
Once an application on computer is developed and implemented, it becomes
difficult to make even minor modification.
Excessive use of computer for communication and keeping in touch with
others threatens to reduce the intensive of personal bond that often develops
between people.

aids. But later, it was realized that the computer made possible a completely
approach the bank problems and their management.
The use of computer involves a much high degree of re – planning and control
if the must be economical and profit earning, infact, the development of the use of
computer as a sophisticated tool in modern methods of banking activities has
imposed a requirement for a completely computerized banking industry. In the final
24
analysis. It’s obvious that the concept of computerization banking activities has come
to stay in Nigeria banking system / commonly and the UNION BANK of no exception.
5.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
The research work had made it clear that the introduction of computer to the
banking system was necessary since many of the activities would have been
penalized if not for the emerge not of the computer. Thus, the following
recommendation was made so as to promote and improve the computerization of the
banking system most especially the union bank of Nigeria plc.
