Abstract
This study examined remittance and bank breadth in Nigeria, using data from the 2011 World Bank Households Survey for the African migration project in Nigeria. The results based logistic regression technique reveal, among other things, that remittance has an inverse relationship with bank breadth. The reason put forward is that recipients prefer to hold foreign exchange from remittance; hence, they do not increase their demand for banking services. One of the key implications of the findings is the need for the commercial banks go beyond mere serving as liaison for remittance but incorporating elements of advisory services to the customers especially those that frequently receives remittance on how best they can utilize such fund for productive activities.
