Banking Bestie
The story behind the game

Banking makes more sense when you can practice it.

I created Banking Bestie Games to make everyday U.S. banking less intimidating, one decision at a time.

Hi, I’m Maria. I’ve worked in banking leadership and helped people navigate accounts, transactions, and the questions that come up at the bank. Through my Banking Bestie in Creole videos, I’ve also worked to make common banking words easier to understand for Haitian Creole speakers.

Knowing a definition is a start. Feeling ready to use that word at a teller window, on a banking app, or while making a financial decision takes practice. That is why this game turns lessons into choices, word searches, knowledge checks, and conversations with a teller.

What I hope you gain

  • Understand common U.S. banking terms in plain language.
  • Practice speaking up and choosing the right next step in familiar situations.
  • Build confidence as you move from the basics through credit, home buying, and retirement.

Banking Bestie Games welcomes beginners, teens, and adults who want a friendlier place to learn. Choose a language for lessons and guidance; U.S. banking terms and word-search entries stay in English so you can recognize them at a bank.
