I was at an overcrowded branch of Guarantee Trust Bank to pay to a relation's account, and while on the queue, I began to wonder why people choose the bank that they have an account with!
For me, I opened my Unity bank account because it was mandatory being a staff there then. Then I related with Gtb, makurdi branch because it was the only bank that my son could access from Abuja. I was at Ugbokolo then and had to travel up to makurdi, two and half hours away. There was no internet banking across banks that time.
Upon retirement, I opened a first Bank account at Offa for business and personal being a newly opened branch at the time with very few customers and the service was highly personalised.
I still maintain these accounts operating them all from Ilorin and on my mobile phone.
Now, tell us, what is the story behind your choice of bank account?
