Banking is a part of everybody’s financial aspect of life. We rely on them to safeguard our hard earned wealth, and also for us to have some source of funds in expanding the nature of our business and our personal way of maintaining the quality of lives we use to enjoy. 

Their presence in the society strengthens us, thus, this simply implies that we, the people living in the community are financially literate when it comes to keeping our money.
 
Try to imagine without having them in our lives. Can you keep your thick, fat money in your pocket or in any secret portion of your house? Where are you going to get some money for life’s unplanned situations? It’s really hard for us to imagine these situations I’ve mentioned. Well, banking is really important to our lives. Without it, the financial world is at chaos. 

The Philippines has many banks. The presence of various financial institutions on our islands emphasizes the fact that we Filipinos are “In” in the financial world. We do have them to strengthen our country’s economic power, and of course, they are there to help us reach our goals in life.
