Now if you are not comfortable with dumping your money on a random App, then you can Download your bank mobile apps and start saving.

Examples can be the UBA Mobile App, and FCMB Mobile App, the reason I pick these is that these banks don’t do excessive charges, especially the UBA.

FCMB even has a saving program called I-nest which should help you achieve your savings goals.

2. Always make a budget:

We all know January can feel like the longest month ever. Before you start spending money, make sure to draw a budget and limit your spending.

Especially if you have traveled back home for the holidays, try not to be extravagant.

Thankfully, the Piggyvest and I-Nest apps can make that very easy for you.

Now in other to help limit your spending and make you easily avoid spending more than your budget.

What you should do is create a scale of preference for things you

Ultimately, try not to spend above your income, know your limit and try to live off 20% of your income.

3. Buy now and pay later:

This tip is not talking about you getting into debt, debts are the worst things you should incur.

Prices of things have gone up, if you can lay your hands on things that when you buy now, you can resell with huge returns in years’ time.

Then go for it, you can use your savings later or get a loan from the bank (be sure you can pay back in the said time).

That piece of land you could buy for ₦500k a year ago is now ₦2 million, the same goes for cars and other things.

You can easily access funds with your bank Loan, get the things you need, and pay back conveniently at low-interest rates.

4. Don’t let your money Japa:

Ignore any message saying you’ve won in a promo you didn’t participate in, or asking you to share your PIN, OTP, BVN, or other sensitive details even if they claim to be calling from your bank.

Be vigilant, a lot of people have fell victim of these scam activities and ended up losing money that would have changed their lives.

So be very careful while dealing with these kinds of people, and take extra precautions because you can never be careful.

In fact, let me recount a story; I use to claim that nobody can scam me, and maybe I was on my bad day that particular day.

But I got a call from a strange number telling me they are from FCMB, though I have an account there I only use it to save not daily transactions.

So the strange caller claimed that my FCMB Bank app is having general difficulties, and one thing led to another I almost send them the verification to login into my account.

But I immediately pinch myself and was like, this isn’t me, I usually investigate this, so I hang up investigated, and called the number again to blast them, Lol.

But unfortunately for me, the person didn’t pick up.

So, the whole point here is your bank will never ask for your sensitive information like your PIN, OTP, BVN, or other sensitive details even if they claim to be calling from your bank.

If you suspect any fraudulent activity, please call your bank Fraud Helpline or contact them through their email.

So, it is best your check out your bank fraud helpline and email address immediately.
