From the preview
Welcome to Module Six. Today we are talking about banks and financial institutions, the places where your money lives when it is not in your pocket. A bank is a safe place for your money. It keeps your savings secure, helps you make payments, and can lend you money when you need it. Banks are not mysterious. They are tools, just like money itself. There are several types. Traditional banks are the most common. Credit unions are member-owned and often offer lower fees. Online banks operate without physical branches and sometimes offer higher savings rates. Each has strengths. The right one depends on what matters most to you.
