How To Do Your Banking is a seven-lesson financial literacy course taught by school faculty.
The investment in education your bank needs to yield knowledgeable new customers. Hundreds of banks nationwide use How To Do Your Banking to teach young adults in the classroom basic money management skills, including how to access and manage credit responsibly.
Why do teens need it?
The average high school graduate lacks basic personal finance skills. Many cannot balance a checkbook and most have no knowledge of the basic principles of earning, spending, saving, or investing.
How To Do Your Banking helps young people learn to manage their first credit experience and establish valuable lifelong financial habits. Rather than stumbling through their financial life by trial and error, teach students in the classroom where mistakes do not cost ‘real’ dollars.
What are the program components?
There are four curriculum components available to each ordering teacher:
- A 36-page Student Workbook branded with your bank’s logo (available in Paper or Digital Format)
- A 40-page Teacher’s Guide

Here is what teachers say about the program
“Thank you for providing this wonderful resource. So many students have never been taught money management. I incorporated the checking account lesson in my accounting class. Many students from prior school years tell me they remember that lesson the most!”
“Information and activities in this workbook are excellent and have provided real life examples for students’ financial planning skills. The activities have facilitated learning about the necessity of planning and making wise decisions to achieve financial security. Thanks.”
“Thank you for the AMAZING materials! I teach financial math and the purpose of the class is to teach students to be financially secure. These materials help them understand not only how to do it but why.”
“My classes love doing these real-world assignments. Most of my students are seniors and they are getting ready to make their own banking and financial decisions. This program gives them the opportunity to practice these skills in a safe environment.”
“Thank you for providing these workbooks to my Financial Literacy classes. It is so important for students to understand checking and not just the use of debit cards. Understanding a statement and learning how to reconcile an account has been very valuable to my students!”
““This is a great, real-life program to teach students about managing their finances, balancing a checkbook, and explaining various financial terms. I use it yearly in my classes. Thank you for a wonderful resource!”
