Savings: Savings 101

Savings: Savings 101 is an elearning course that explores the advantages of having a savings account. Why put your money into a savings account when you already have a checking account? What’s the point of having more than one bank account? Well, for starters, most savings accounts earn interest, often much higher than a standard checking account. That means your money is making money while it just sits there. In this course, we’ll discuss the basics of savings accounts, the various types of savings accounts to consider, and the benefits of opening an account.

Part of our series on Savings, this course includes a video with audio narration, downloadable materials, and a quick quiz. Take this course along with others in the series and acquire the skills you need to manage and maximize your savings effectively.
