financial innovative products affect the financial performance of the Ghanaian Banking Sector Rose (1999) defines banks as any financial institutions which offer a broad range of financial services, including the provision of credit, deposits and payment systems and employ an extensive variety of financial intermediation functions in any business economy According to Lerner and Tufano (2011), „financial innovation is defined as the „act of creating and then popularizing new financial assets or products, as well as new financial technologies, organizations and markets‟ In recent past, it was possible for banks to satisfy their customers and to meet their own performance targets without the need to develop any new products to enhance service delivery due to the fact that account holders and banks were few, with the low volume of transactions, and luck of competition in the banking industry According to the 2014, Ghana Banking survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers „Ghana has 27 universal banks, 137 rural and community banks, 58 non-bank financial organizations including, leasing firms, mortgage providers, finance houses, and saving and loan institutions‟ These not include the hundreds of „Susu‟ collectors, who serve as informal, small-scale depository financial organizations for market sellers, artisans and commercial transport operators Of the twenty-seven (27) universal banks, 10 are owned by Ghanaians while the remaining is backed by international owners Bank innovations involve the development of new products/services or production process that lead to efficient and effective operations Nofie (2011), described innovations in the banking industry as the entrance of new or improved products or a processes which reduces the operational cost of rendering existing banking services According Agboola (2003), the Table 4.2.4.1 Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) Strongly Statement Agree Agree % % ATM services have brought more 23 59 retail savers to the bank With ATMs bank customers are able 55 41 to access their deposits all the 24 hours in a day for withdrawal Corporate savers could be attracted through ATMs Neutral % Strongly Disagree

Ghana On whether E-Zwich payment systems have attracted more retail depositors, 21% of the respondents were indifferent, 59% disagreed and 20% strongly disagreed On whether with E-Zwich customers are able to access their deposits all the 24 hours in a day for withdrawal, 36% strongly agreed, 61% agreed, 2% neutral and 1% disagreed On whether E-Zwich has attracted more corporate depositors and deposits, 67% of the respondents disagreed and 33% strongly disagreed The impact of E-Zwich on savings has not been favorable as the bank executives totally reject it as a tool for deposit mobilization in Ghana However, on accessibility to deposits, the product has been very effective in this regard 39 Table 4.2.4.2 E-Zwich Payment systems Statement Strongly Agree % E-Zwich have brought more retail savers to the bank With E-Zwich bank customers are 36 able to access their deposits all the 24 hours in a day for withdrawal Corporate savers could be attracted through E-Zwich Agree % 61

banking on customers‟ deposit habit in the Ghanaian universal banks On whether mobile/internet banking has attracted more retail depositors for the bank, 78% agreed in total, 6% were neutral, 16% disagreed in total As to whether mobile banking has enabled customer to access their deposits, 72% agreed in total, 8% were indifferent, and 18% also disagreed in total On the attracting corporate savers, 4% agreed, 1% was neutral and a total of 95% disagreed with the statement The result showed that, though mobile/internet banking is very effective in promoting the patronage of banking services in Ghana, it is only exclusive to retail customers but not applicable to corporate or institutional customers 40 Table 4.2.4.3 Mobile/Internet Banking Strongly Statement Agree Agree % %

RECOMMENDATIONS 5.0 INTRODUCTION This study sought to find out the effect of bank innovations on the financial performance of universal banks in Ghana There are so many innovations in the financial sector, but this investigation was limited to Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), E-Zwich Payment systems and Mobile/Internet Banking The study throw light on the consequences of these innovations that the banks are coming up with on total income, return on assets, patronage of bank services in Ghana and profitability of the banks This chapter is a composition of the summary, conclusion drawn on all that have been discovered out of the study, the finding thereof and the relevant recommendation made that would lead to clear understanding of the impact of bank innovations on performance of universal banks in Ghana 5.2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The arrival of the Internet and the proliferation of mobile telecommunication companies in the Ghanaian economy have offered both an opportunity and a test for the Ghanaian banking sector For years, banks in Ghana have used strong computer networks to mechanize million of daily transactions, but in recent times, frequently the only paper record is the customer‟s receipt at the ATMs or point of sale Now that bank customers can be linked to the internet through personal computers and mobile phones, banks foresee related economic benefits by adapting new and innovative electronic processes for their operations Various findings were made with respect to the four stated objective as follows: The first objective was to ascertain the impact of bank innovations on revenue of universal banks in Ghana It was discovered that most of the innovations have positive effect on 42 income For example, 83% of the bank executives interviewed agreed that ATMs have great influence on income, again 79% of interviewers agreed that mobile banking will increase incomes of the banks, this is indicative for the fact that management will easily be convinced investing in these products Conversely, as much as 94% of the respondents were in disagreement with the accession that E-Zwich had a direct constructive effect on revenue generation of the banks The second objective was to find out the impact of bank innovations on return on assets of the universal banks It was discovered that most of the bank executives agreed that the introduction of ATMs and Internet/mobile banking have a favorable consequences on return on assets, on the other hand, majority of the sampled bank executives rejected the statement that e-zwich has direct impact on return on assets, in effect these bank executives were of the opinion e-zwich does not have direct effect on returns on assets The third objective was to establish the effect that innovations on profits of the universal banks in Ghana The findings discovered that some of the bank innovations have a constructive influence on profitability of the universal banks in Ghana According to the respondents innovations such as ATMs and Mobile banking have influence on profitability The respondents rejected E-zwich innovation as having direct influence on the profit levels of the universal banks in Ghana The fourth objective sought to find out the effect of innovative products on patronage of banking services in Ghana It was revealed that innovation have been helpful in attracting customers to the banks The respondents agreed that online banking is a influential "value added" instrument to attract and maintain new customers while helping to remove costly paper handling and teller interactions in an ever more competitive banking environment Over 82% of the respondents agreed to the assertion that ATMs have brought more 43 depositors to the banks The bank executives also confirmed that the innovation products have made it easier for bank customers to have access their deposits and can withdraw with ease The E-zwich machine in particular, despite its many benefits like convenience, transaction speed, effectiveness in terms of security and easy access to cash did not receive a favorable response from the bank executives 5.3 CONCLUSION The purpose of this work was to identify the effect of bank innovations on the financial performance of universal banks in terms of income generation, liquidity, efficiency, profitability and the general patronage of banking services by Ghanaians This work is a survey of bank executives from fifteen (15) universal banks in Ghana by the use of questionnaires that were administered to find out opinions of bank executives on the effect of bank innovations on financial performance From this study it was found that the performance of banks in Ghana in the near future would greatly be based on factors such as the introduction of efficient and effective innovative products such as ATMs and Mobile/Internet banking to attract customers, who are seeking for ease of banking, “presence everywhere banking”, better customer service, and a convincing image of a strong bank These innovative products have the potential to improve upon the revenue generation and profitability of the universal banks The arrival of the Internet and the proliferation of mobile telecommunication companies in Ghana present both an opportunity and a challenge to banks in Ghana The test for the banking sector has been how to formulate a new service delivery means in such a way that its clients will enthusiastically learn to use and rely on After all, banks have spent many years to achieve customer‟s trust, and they are not prepared to risk that on an internet site that is wearisome, confusing and less secure Most of the universal banks now present completely secure and functional online banking for free or for a small fee to the customers The opportunities presented could be seen in the area of operational cost 44 reduction that could be achieved through these innovative products, increase in customer base or patronage of banking services 5.4 RECOMMENDATIONS From this study it has become clear that by embarking on bank innovation universal Banks in Ghana will consolidate their gains and assets base by becoming more efficient in service delivery and profitable to their shareholders The following suggestions are made to the universal banks and the entire financial market to enhance their customer base and improve upon their profitability It is recommended that corporate banks must make it a policy to establish an efficient and effective marketing department to oversee the publicity of all bank innovative products The Government through Bank of Ghana must continue to invest in researching into innovations in the financial sector The universal banks whose operations are affected by any national innovative products or platforms such as E-zwich should be consulted and their concerns factored in the product before implementation The pricing of innovative products should be reasonable in order not to further drive or scare the prospective customers or users The problem of psychological dissatisfaction as a result of luck of trust in an innovative products‟ security, that most customers are likely to complain of, should be addressed 5.5 AREAS FOR FURTHER STUDIES This research did not cover the satisfaction level of customers on bank innovations which could be found as crucial for the success of these innovative products in Ghana Research should be conducted into the problems faced by users as they make attempt to adopt the financial innovative products 45 REFENCES
