My great grandfather knew this simple, commonsense theory long ago. Fact is, Ghanaian workers don't have disposable income to put anywhere. Maybe, the most practical advise is to tell the politicians to put their stolen monies in some savings account, or invest and employ Ghanaians.

In some European countries interest rates on savings are as low as 0.4%, (note a mistake Zero Point Four Percent!)

This man is feeding his family with corrupt money. The government should employ people to track the money he saved. The government is paying to use their not to save it. A better future is today, let us share not save.

I don't think that this man is competent to hold the office of Bank manager or director. No where around the world salaries are kept in saving accounts.
What he should have said or advised the workers upon was "invest in deposits". That is, one has to open a fixed deposit account so that in every month, a fraction of what the person receives is transferred into that account. Every salary earner needs current account. I was in Germany and now in Italy, current accounts holding is the best practice for salary earners and that permits them to access short and long term loans. Savings accounts do not meet the criteria for short and long term loans.

problems understanding him.
The man said that after you have received your salary in your CURENT account, MOVE the money into your savings acccount simply because while current accounts do not yield any interest, you may get as much as 20% (Ghana standards) interest on money in your savings accounts.
In Ghana, this is alright because they do not do direct debiting but pay eveyrthing by cash or do money.
In countries where direct debit is the norm, there must be money in your current account or you may have overdraft agreement with your bankers.
Man, you got him totally wrong!

You cannot transfer salaries into savings accounts but only in current accounts, therefore the banks are ccorrect opening currents acounts for those who want accounts for receiving their salaries.

I live in the US, where the average Black is relatively poor. The reason is simple: We use the money we don't have, to buy the things we not need, to impress the people we don't like.

Current accounts have no place in a low earning economy such as that of Ghana. It is asking the poor to subsidize these rich bankers

you can make only 2-3 withdrawls in USA from savings without fee...So most people in USA direct deposit their pay into checking(current) account then move to savings unless they have set amount removed to begin with

Prodent management of salaries depends on the worker. Your first day at do not open current account for your salary to pass through.the moment that account is open interest will be deducted monthly irrespective you have money or not. The best advice to salary workers should be open savings account for your salaries.
Current account is meant for businesses who needs money frequent for day today activities.
