Heritage Bank liquidation

Ealier, Legit.ng reported that NDIC announced that Heritage Bank customers who had more than N5 million in accounts before it closed will start getting part of their money back in April.

For months, these customers have been unsure about their funds after the bank suddenly shut down.
