Nigerians adopt modern ways of saving

Meanwhile, more Nigerians are adopting modern ways of saving their money using fintechs and other digital methods.

For instance, a Nigerian man used the Opay safe box to save a part of his income daily.

The man, Tom Alims, said a part of his income is automatically deducted and saved daily, and he did that throughout the year 2024. He said people could also use a dedicated account for saving.

He told Legit.ng:

"My simple formula for saving consistently is setting up a dedicated account to hold your savings and then from your regular account that money enters frequently, visit your bank and set a standing order for a particular amount to be deducted automatically either on daily, weekly or monthly basis to the account dedicated to hols your Savings. That way, it is automated and doesn't need you doing the saving manually. Secondly, I advise that people join cooperatives that encourage savings. That way, the members save consistently and those who don't get to pay fines for the days they default."
