I was hesitant about digital-only banks until taking this course. Sarah's clear explanations of security protocols and her comparison framework helped me feel confident in evaluating options. I've now switched to a digital bank that offers 2% higher interest than my old brick-and-mortar bank, with better features too! The security checklist alone is worth the price of the course. Highly recommend.

As a small business owner, I needed to understand the digital banking landscape to optimize our financial operations. This course is incredibly thorough. The section on API banking changed how we manage our accounts - we've now integrated our accounting software directly with our bank, saving hours of manual work each week. Sarah explains complex technical concepts in a way that's easy to understand, even for non-technical people.

Security was my biggest concern with digital banking, and this course addresses it perfectly. The section on authentication methods and security protocols is comprehensive and practical. I appreciated the hands-on exercises that helped me set up proper security measures for my accounts. After implementing Sarah's recommendations, I feel much more confident using digital banking services. The course also helped me discover features I didn't know existed in my current bank's app!
