How to Use This Course

Who This Course Is For

Built for teens opening their first bank account or using UPI for the first time — no prior experience with banking apps or payment systems assumed. Each lesson defines terms as they come up, so you can start at lesson one even with zero background.

Start with opening a student account, since everything else in this course — UPI, budgeting, digital safety — depends on having one. Then move through the lessons in order at your own pace.

Let's begin with the first real step: opening your own student bank account.
