Introduction to Mobile Banking (4 courses)
Mobile banking offers you the convenience of accessing your money at any time. This course shows you how online banking works on your computer, smartphone and tablet. We also have our very own pretend bank, Squirrel Bank, where you can practise key mobile banking tasks like paying bills, transferring money and checking your balance. Courses include:
Getting Started with Mobile Banking – Managing money using a bank’s app on your smartphone or tablet is known as mobile 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 mobile banking and how you can stay safer while banking on your smart device. To help demonstrate a typical mobile banking experience, we have created a pretend bank – Squirrel Bank – to use as our examples. While Squirrel Bank is not real, it does give a good idea of how mobile banking apps look and feel. Of course, your own bank’s app might look a little different, but you should still be able to follow along.
Setting Up Mobile Banking – In this course, we show you how mobile banking works, and how to get set up using your smartphone or tablet, and a typical bank’s app. To help demonstrate a typical mobile banking experience, we have created a pretend bank – Squirrel Bank – to use as our examples.

Mobile Banking Basics Practice Area – In this course, we look at some of the most common mobile banking tasks for smartphones and tablets, such as checking balances, statements and more. To help us get used to how a typical mobile banking app works, we also have special practice activities for you to hone your skills using our pretend bank – Squirrel Bank. As Squirrel Bank is not a real bank, you can practise these tasks as often as you like in a safe environment and, if you make a mistake, it doesn’t matter as you can always have another go!
Managing Payments Online Practice Area – Building our skills from the previous course – Mobile banking basics practice area – we are going to look at more advanced mobile banking tasks. In this course, we focus on transferring funds, paying bills using Bill Payment (BPAY for short), and limiting how much money can be withdrawn from your accounts at a time. Our Squirrel Bank practice areas give you an opportunity to perfect these more advanced skills in a safe environment and, if you make a mistake, it doesn’t matter as you can always have another go!
