How do they make money?
* mortgage - using some billionaires account to buy housing properties and leasing them
* estate and lands with same patterns
* SMS alert charges
* Transfer charges
* Syphons dormant accounts or dead people accounts that are inactive with enough money in it.
* ATM and investment cards
* sales of currencies like dollar to naira
* preparation of international documents
* savings people's valuables like gold, certificate, court documents, WILLS, and so on.
Banks generate maximum revenue by lending to customers because banks pay maximum 6% interest on customer FDs where they charge 10-15% interest on loans. The highest interest is charged on credit card loans where they charge compound interest. Banks earn revenue from your details and many more.  On the other hand, the bank account holders are affected because the value of money has started decreasing day by day in relation to the goods due to the bank not giving good interest.  So depositing money in the bank is now a loss in all aspects.
