Is investing in MERIT the same as putting money in a bank?

No, there are big differences. Banks offer checking and savings accounts that typically pay less interest and might offer other savings and investment products. MERIT helps you save through payroll contributions to your Roth IRA and allows you to invest in various targeted, market-based investments.
