Boniface I. ★★★★★ : Polaris Bank took over sky bank and has become one of the best growing banks in Idah, Local Government are of Kogi State...Although, her customers are not much unlike Union Bank or UBA PlC. Its easy to access, flexible and timely when it comes to cash payment. Well they need to improve on their atm systems as it's poor and always not functioning. They have good security agent.
