Banking: How Banks Work and How to Use Them

A practical high-school course that looks at the bank as a business: why banks exist, whom they serve and how they earn a profit, the balance sheet, reserves, the Fed and deposit insurance. Then it does the banking: checking and savings, interest, APR and compound growth, credit scores, loans and mortgages, business accounts and lines of credit, card processing, and how to stop fraud and scams. Every answer is worked out step by step, and an optional grades 6–8 track runs alongside.
