“This lucky person is planning to keep all his money in Kevin Bank Bhd.”

My explanation is: Since it’s something personal, we use “money”. It’s not like I’m getting funds from other companies.

Hi Kevin
Guess the three [money] is correct but which [money] should be the most ideal for this example? Has it got to do with American or English spelling that caused this ‘confusion’?

“This lucky person is planning to keep all his (money|moneys|monies) in Kevin Bank Bhd.”

Thanks & have a nice weekend.
