Financial ratio analyses are employed to measure profitability, solvency and capital adequacy of seven CBs and two IBs. Independen samples t-test was used to determine the whether there is a difference in the performance for IBs and CBs. The finding of the research establishes that CBs are more profitable and significantly different from IBs in terms of return on assets, return on equity and net profit margin. While, IBs were performing better in term of efficiency ratio, debt to assets ratio. Debt to equity ratio and credit to deposits ratio total credit to total debit.
