Open banking refers to a system that allows financial institutions to securely share customer data with third-party providers through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), thereby promoting innovation, competition, and improved service delivery. Financial inclusion, defined as the availability and accessibility of affordable financial services such as payments, savings, credit, and insurance, remains a critical challenge, especially in emerging markets like Nigeria. Despite the growth of the financial sector, a significant proportion of the population remains unbanked or underbanked due to barriers such as high costs, lack of documentation, and limited financial literacy. The study adopts a conceptual and empirical approach, drawing on existing literature to analyze how open banking contributes to financial inclusion. Findings reveal that open banking enhances financial inclusion by enabling data-driven credit assessment, promoting digital payments, and supporting the development of innovative financial products tailored to underserved populations. Evidence suggests that open banking increases the proportion of individuals participating in digital financial transactions, particularly among low-income and less-educated groups. Furthermore, it fosters competition among financial service providers, leading to reduced costs and improved access to financial services. However, the study also identifies challenges associated with open banking, including data privacy concerns, cybersecurity risks, and regulatory complexities. These challenges may hinder its full potential if not properly addressed through effective policy frameworks and consumer protection mechanisms....Preview Download Preview +Other Banking and Finance project topics and materials you might be interested in»The role of central bank of Nigeria (CBN) in the development of Nigeria financial sector»Appraisal of the economic implication of electronic banking in Nigerian banks (A case study of diamond bank)»The impact of strategic planning on banks performance in Nigeria (A case study of united bank for Africa plc)»Evaluation of the impact of liquidity management on banks performance in Nigeria ( A case study of UBA )»The roles of central bank of Nigeria in the prevention of bank failure or liquidation (A case study of central bank of Nigeria 2005-2009)»The role of financial institutions in promoting banking habit and saving capital formation in Nigeria»The effectiveness of monetary policy measures in controlling inflation in Nigeria»The effect of electronic banking on fraud reduction in bank (A case study of access bank plc)»Problems and challenges facing finance houses in the Nigerian economy ( A case study of mortgage bank owerri )»The role of deposit money bank in Nigeria in economy development in Nigeria - a case study of Access Bank Plc»Motivation as a way of reducing fraud in banking industry ( A case study of UBA and Fidelity bank )»Identification and management of bad debts in Nigeria commercial banks(A case study of UBA plc)»The impact of insurance industry on the economic growth of Nigeria (A case study of nicon and hallmark insurance companies 2005-2009)»The contribution and effect of computer to modern day banking in Nigeria (A case study of zenith bank and first bank plc)»The use of accounting information in assessing control and performance in an organization (A case study of first bank of Nigeria owerri)
