    One common mistake small business owners make at the beginning is rushing in without proper research and planning, which often leads to money problems. Many also underestimate costs, keep poor records, or mix personal and business finances, causing confusion and bad decisions. Trying to do everything alone and ignoring customer feedback can slow growth, while poor pricing reduces profit.

    Incessant bank charges on Nigerian bank accounts have become a common frustration because many customers don’t clearly understand what each fee represents or why it keeps appearing. Banks charge for things like SMS alerts, card maintenance, transfer fees, stamp duty, and sometimes hidden administrative costs. Over time, these small deductions add up and reduce your savings. The problem feels worse during periods of high inflation because every naira matters. Some banks also apply charges even when customers don’t actively use certain services. To manage this, Nigerians should review their monthly statements, disable unnecessary services, switch to email alerts instead of SMS, and choose banks or fintechs with lower fees. Understanding the charges and monitoring your transactions helps prevent surprises and protects your money from being eaten up by avoidable deductions.

The key is to borrow only for essential needs, ensure you can manage repayments, and use the loan in ways that add value or security rather than just for temporary wants.

    But recently they employ up to 5 people which settle complain faster,this way people get attended to on time,and thus reflect transparency in their operation

    I work very hard for every penny that I have and if I leave it in a bank account, none of it should be lost without being properly accounted for. If I notice missing funds from my account, I would face of all notify that my bank. They must trace how the money is missing and what it was deducted for. If I am not able to retrieve my missing funds, I do a petition to the CBN regarding that x and it would be resolved immediately.
