Banks are pretty much the most popular financial institutions around. The history of banks has stretched as far back as the ancient Mesopotamian times (yes, they’re that old), wherein certain locations such as palaces and temples would be the center of lending activities.
Today, banks are renowned organizations where customers may deposit or borrow money. In more recent times, digital banks have even popped up and operate mainly on the cloud. Banks have been around for so long and evolved so much that it’s the first place many people think of when getting a loan.

Everyone probably has their own way of managing their money. Some people prefer building their own Google sheet or Excel file and writing down their information there.

Banking doesn’t have to be so scary when you’ve got Tonik by your side
Let’s get real right here—banking can be a terrifying ordeal. We don’t even have to use any euphemisms. Even pop culture tends to portray banks in a cold light, and yes, we mean those daunting, often gray buildings with unfriendly staff and grouchy customers all around that we tend to see on our favorite movies or TV shows.
