Banking System has moved away from a situation where all activities are manual based such as all transactions are carried out manually; in modern day banking transactions are carried out automatically with the support of ATM (Automated Teller Machine) and other modern technology equipments and this has also help reduce the numbers of crowds in the bank, and enhance and support the operation of banking. (Adekange1986:23-25).
