Important
By using these services, you will incur a small amount
in form of transaction fee. However, the general cost of these services
is lower than the cost of travelling all the way to the bank just to inquire about your salary.
For
bigger transactions such as borrowing of a loan, then you may have to
obtain your payslip. But don't worry, banks love teachers.
