Impact of Adult Learning on Adults’ Understanding of Bank Customer Service Channels

Abstract

Bank customer service channels refer to the various platforms through which banking customers communicate with financial institutions to make enquiries, seek assistance, resolve complaints, obtain information, and access customer support. Adult Learning can provide adults with the knowledge required to understand and appropriately use these channels. This study will examine the impact of Adult Learning on adults’ understanding of bank customer service channels, focusing on branch services, telephone support, email, mobile applications, online platforms, and other available customer support channels. The study is motivated by the need to improve adults’ awareness of available banking support options and promote informed use of customer service facilities. Adult Learning provides opportunities for adults to acquire practical knowledge through discussions, demonstrations, guided activities, simulations, and real-life examples. In relation to bank customer service, learning activities can introduce adults to different channels available for communicating with banks and explain the purposes for which each channel may be used. Adults can learn how to select appropriate channels for enquiries, complaints, transaction-related concerns, and requests for assistance. Practical learning can make customer service information easier to understand and enable adults to navigate banking support systems more confidently. Adults’ understanding of bank customer service channels refers to their ability to identify available channels, explain their purposes, and determine the appropriate channel for different banking-related needs. Adequate understanding can help adults communicate effectively with financial institutions and seek assistance through suitable channels when problems or enquiries arise. Adult Learning can strengthen this understanding by exposing learners to realistic customer service situations and demonstrating how different communication channels function. Improved understanding may therefore support more effective interaction between banking customers and financial service providers. The study will adopt a suitable descriptive survey research design. The population will comprise adults participating in selected Adult Learning programmes, from which an appropriate sample will be selected using a suitable sampling procedure. Data will be collected through a structured questionnaire and an appropriate understanding assessment designed to measure participants’ understanding of bank customer service channels. The research instruments will be subjected to appropriate validation procedures, while their reliability will be established before administration. Data collected will be analysed using relevant descriptive and inferential statistical techniques to determine the impact of Adult Learning on adults’ understanding of bank customer service channels. The study is expected to establish that participation in Adult Learning programmes has a positive impact on adults’ understanding of bank customer service channels. Adults exposed to relevant learning activities are expected to demonstrate improved ability to identify available customer service channels, understand their purposes, and select appropriate channels for different banking concerns. The study may further establish that demonstrations, practical examples, and scenario-based activities are effective approaches for helping adults understand how and when to use different banking customer service channels. The study is expected to have implications for Adult Education practitioners, financial literacy educators, community educators, banking institutions, and organisations involved in financial inclusion programmes. Adult Learning programmes may incorporate practical demonstrations of banking customer service channels, guided communication exercises, and realistic customer service scenarios. These approaches can strengthen adults’ confidence in communicating with financial institutions and improve their ability to seek appropriate assistance when required. The study will be significant to adults, banking customers, households, Adult Education practitioners, financial educators, banking institutions, and other stakeholders interested in improving financial service awareness. It is expected to recommend the inclusion of bank customer service education in relevant Adult Learning and financial literacy programmes, with emphasis on practical examples and accessible learning materials. The study will conclude that effective Adult Learning can improve adults’ understanding of bank customer service channels and contribute to more informed and effective use of banking support services.
