Yes, They Abolished Transfer Fees.

This Friday morning, I will walk into a Sterling Bank branch in Abuja—not just to open a bank account, but to make a statement. A statement in support of a bank that chose compassion over corporate greed, and the people over profits. Sterling Bank has made a bold move—eliminating transfer charges that other banks have stubbornly held onto. And for that, they deserve to be celebrated.

But then came Sterling Bank.

They listened. They acted.

They willingly walked away from ₦13.56 billion…
