Managing money using a bank's website is known as online banking. You can pay bills, transfer money and check your balance, all from the comfort of your armchair. In this course you will learn what you need to know about online banking and how you can stay safer while banking online.
To help demonstrate a typical online banking experience, we have created a pretend bank – Squirrel Bank – to use as our examples. Whilst Squirrel Bank is not real, it does give a good idea of how online banking websites look and feel. Of course, your online bank account might look a little different, but you should still be able to follow along.
