We know that many of us can’t afford to buy a car, a house or going on an expensive vacation using only our own money.

This is the reason why banks exist.

So either we get a loan or a credit card for buying what we want or simply make a payment, we have at hand the banking products. The valuable experience of the banking and finance professionals with whom we’ve closely worked on this banking course proved that we often spend a lot of money on fees and interests because we either don’t choose the right product.

We’ve created the Retail Banking Course because we wanted to stop losing money on costly banking products that didn’t actually suit your needs.

That’s why we’ve gathered hundreds of useful tips about how to do that based on years of experience in banking and finance and we share it with you through this online course.

The Retail Banking Course is the result of more than 10 years of working closely with experienced professionals from banking, finance and financial counseling. They shared their knowledge and revealed valuable insider secrets. 

This course can help you as an individual to have better costs with the bank or can help you become a successful banking professional specialized in retail banking.

You will know how to:

  • Get a loan also when your revenues are not enough
  • Understand what underlies the bank’s decision to lending money
  • Precisely determine the bonus interest for the money you have in your checking account
  • Choose the right term deposit knowing what interest capitalization and automatic renewal imply
  • Easily calculate the bonus interest for your term deposits
  • Use the certificates of deposit and the hybrid saving products
  • Use bank cards for minimizing risks and costs
  • Deal with situations when you lose your card or it is stolen from you
  • Effectively use internet banking and mobile banking to cut the costs
  • Choose the amortization schedule that suits you best
  • Understand better what is an installment made of and what are the other costs of the loans besides the interest
  • Use credit cards in order to pay a lower interest
    …and so much more

    I refinanced my mortgage and now I save almost $250 a month! Based on what I’ve found out from this online course, I started to analyze better the costs with my mortgage and I looked for cheaper alternatives. Finally I’ve chosen the most advantageous one. I refinanced and at the new bank I pay less interest and lower fees. It’s quite amazing how simple it was to save such a big amount of money just by knowing the insiders secrets from this banking course!

Thank you very much for this amazing course and also for your assistance because for every question I had I received a kind and helpful answer from the customer service. Thank you!
