It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the impact of commercial banks activities on rural economic development and; also to determine the relationship that exists between various activities of commercial banks and the development of the rural economy and its populace. In line with the objectives, two hypotheses were formulated. The population and the sample of the study were all the Commercial banks in Nigeria. The study utilized data from secondary source. Data were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) Statistical bulletin. The time frame for the study is twenty-eight years, covering the period of 1982 to 2010.

The study calls on appropriate authority such as the government to ensure the consistency of policies that will enhance rural development.
