This is currently made possible by the introduction of the digital computers, which has been observed in the field of communication to be increasingly inseparable from communication to be increasingly from communication. This linkages often referred to as convergence is risen driven by technology and amplified by business trends the technology and business, foster growth in network systems that use communication links to connect subsidiary system (nodes) which may send, receive, direct and redirect information to, fro, sender and receiver.
Taking of the Internet a couple of years ago would have sound link a fair table but today the Internet is pervasive in almost every field of human endeavor changing the fundamentals of how are conduct national as well as international businesses. Few years of existence, the internet has shown that it can sliver the long sought after goal of electronic commerce.
It is worth noting that companies in developed countries world – wide have recognized the business potential of the internet and are getting connected to the network of networks in their million.
The financial Institution (Bank) is one of such organizations. Banking constitutes one of the most prominent life wire for socio – economic growth and development in any given nation.

The advantages offered by these toll calls for a review of an existing automated system and subsequent design and implementation of interactive web-site to improve the existing system
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
1.3 DELIMITATION
This study and subsequent design of the computer software is limited to the (All State Trust Bank) Enugu. Although limited to the above organization. The finding design and implementation of the software is likely to be applicable to other owned organization.
1.4 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Hard time is not new phenomena to an ordinary Nigeria but to the student researcher, it is even worse time and finance posed a lot of constraints to the work..
Consequently, difficulties were encountered during the collection of primary data. Most of the administration system engineers and clerk visited reluctantly refused interview for one reason or the other and being referred to and fro, the organization from one personnel to the other not excluding even security men.
Books related to this topic are relatively scarce and could only be gotten from the Internet, which took a lot of time and money.
However with persistence and perseverance reasonable facts were finally obtained.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study and subsequent design and implementation of this program will be of immense use to the organization, the administration and the customers in realizing the long south goal of speed, efficiency, effectiveness and convenience the program take care of those factors that militated against the smooth running operation of the organization using the on-line services. Provided by the web.
Better still scholars who intend to carry out subsequent research could have this as base from where improvement could be made.
