Students learn to manage checking and savings accounts using both traditional banking tools and digital banking features. They practice writing and endorsing checks, completing deposit slips, and understanding how money moves into and out of their accounts. They explore current and available balances, pending transactions, and safe banking habits before applying their knowledge in a hands-on simulation in which they track account activity and determine how much money they have available to spend.
