How to choose a reliable bank or financial institution to place your funds?

[deucher]

In my opinion, it is not necessary to choose a bank just because it exists, because not all banks are safe, even if they are working and have not been banned. I had cases when I deposited money on the card of my new bank, but I did not receive it, and the technical support answered that there were no transactions. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to check the age of the bank so that it was founded a long time ago. It is also desirable that the bank should be state-owned so that your funds are protected by the state and not by some insurance agency.

When choosing a bank, prioritize reliability, reputation, and financial stability. Research the bank's history, customer reviews, and ratings from credible sources. Ensure the bank is insured by a government-backed program for deposit protection. Consider the range of services offered, fees, and interest rates. Look for convenient ATM access and online banking options. Evaluate customer service quality and responsiveness. Assess the bank's commitment to security measures to safeguard your funds. Seek recommendations from trusted sources and compare multiple options before making a decision. Ultimately, choose a bank with a strong track record, transparent policies, and a commitment to meeting your financial needs

Unfortunately a lot of banks in my country are all the same. The only thing we are doing here is just choosing the one that is more manageable and have our money deposited in them because there is no way you're going to keep all of our money at home. If it is possible to save all my money at home, I wouldn't even have a dime saved in the bank.

I choose a reliable bank by researching its reputation, checking for FDIC insurance, comparing interest rates, and reading customer reviews. I also consider fees, customer service quality, and convenience features like online banking and ATM access to ensure my funds are secure and easily accessible.

The best way to choose a reliable bank is to look at reviews, reputation, comparing interest rates and reading their small print about any fees using their services. Once you've got a bank account, stick with it for a period of 6 years atleast before switching again to build up credit history. Some great tips above too, by the other posters.

For me if it is offline I ask around but online I'm most likely to read reviews from others and that will be it
