The Savings Account Agreement serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between financial institutions and their customers in Nigeria's banking sector. This agreement is essential for establishing savings accounts in compliance with the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act (BOFIA) 2020 and Central Bank of Nigeria regulations. It outlines comprehensive terms including account operations, interest calculations, fees, electronic banking services, and customer rights and obligations. The document is designed to protect both the financial institution and the account holder while ensuring compliance with Nigerian banking regulations, anti-money laundering laws, and consumer protection requirements. It's particularly important in the current digital banking environment, where traditional savings accounts often include electronic banking features and mobile services.
