Among the list of banks in Nigeria, two banks were selected, Gtbank and Fidelity Bank to be compared.

This comparison ranges from Customer care service, speed in money transfer within Nigeria, banks Exchange rate and ATM charges, as of 2018

When it comes to saving money, one has three choices to choose from

• To bury it in the ground
• Place it under the mattress
• Open a savings bank account. (GTBank, Fidelity bank)

My advice, don’t do the first two hence digging up every time can make it visible same as hiding it under the mattress, what happens when you’re not around and your wife, kids or friends raise the bed while cleaning the room.
