    Abstract Although, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) may have no strong proclamation of the law, it has nonetheless been espoused by banks to give an impression that they show their concerns for the development of their immediate environments and the nation at large. Often, CSR is embarked upon to gain customers' patronage and enhance their performance among their peers. This study examined the impact of CSR (in terms of four CSR dimensions identified by Carroll, 1991) on Banks' performance. The study employed secondary data that is, audited financial statements of ten Nigerian Deposit Money Banks representing the sample size. Using inferential statistics (regression analysis), the study found no significant relationship between CSR and Banks' performance. Government legislation on mandatory CSR for banks is therefore recommended so that banks will not see their obligations ending with profit making and shareholders' wealth maximisation.
