Thesis Many people think that their money will be safe whenever it is close to them. This idea is quite accepted because they need it every time. However, they don’t think what will happen to them if they always bring their money wherever and whenever they go. One of the best ways of keeping money is keeping it in a bank. Saving money in a bank benefits people in various ways. Keeping it safe, avoiding crime, and increasing its amount are good reasons to save money in a bank.
