The study compared the performances of Deposit Money Bank, Bank of Agriculture and Microfinance Banks in the rural communities of Benue State Nigeria: 2010 - 2012. Data were collected from 180 respondents using multistage sampling technique.

Comparatively, the Deposit Money Bank was most successful in terms of savings mobilization (N11,825,000). The Bank of Agriculture was next (N3,471,000) and the Micro Finance Bank (N429,000). With respect to funding rural agriculture, Deposit Money Bank was highest (54.24%) followed by Bank of Agriculture (45.18%) and the least was Micro Finance Bank (0.58%).
