The Nigerian banking industry has experienced a superb boost in technological advancements over the years.
Growing up, we had to visit the physical location of a bank before a transaction could be made. Coupled with the stress of standing in long queues that were a constant in banking halls.
In recent times, we can comfortably make transfers of funds to our loved ones in different locations from the comfort of our homes; plus the easy withdrawal of cash which is made possible by Automated Teller Machines scattered across the nation.
