The contribution of the banking industry to the development of any nation cannot be over-emphasised. To this end, the study of the role of computer in fraud detection and prevention is a step in the right direction. However, the computer, although regarded as a veritable tool to improve banking facilities has not been employed by some banks. On the other hand, banks that have adopted it, has been able to affirm t ht it is a means of improving their cheque transactions and keeping necessary information about customers for loan advances and other services. This study therefore, is going to show the actual role of computers in fraud detection and prevention, advantages accruing to computer application in banks, and of course, examines the problems militating against effective computerization. In the research process, secondary sources of data collection were used such as textbooks by distinguished authors, journals and unpublished materials of some lectures.  Based on the findings, the researcher arrived at certain conclusion which apparently led to some recommendations.
