If you’re currently a student in any Nigerian University, Polytechnic or College of education, this is very important: You need a student account without zero opening fee and zero running balance to receive money from home and to carry out transactions in school.
Not having money to open a bank account is no longer an excuse. Students are open to different favour and opportunities. Someone can just say, “Send me your account number so that I can transfer some cash to you”. It is an error for you to say, “I don’t have a bank account yet”.
With these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince and not to confuse you that you need an account as a student in any Nigerian University, Polytechnic or College of Education.

Best Bank And Account Type For Students
I highly recommend Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) students account. It is very simple to operate. I have been banking with GTBank for years. I started with their student account and I currently have a domiciliary account with them. A good alternative is the FCMB Flex account.
GTBank Nigeria has different types of savings account, some for kids, some for students, some for workers and some for just basic savings.
The one you need to create in this situation is called GTCrea8 e-savers for. It is called GTCre8 e-savers because you would spend less time having to go into the banking hall for basic services.
