    About the Course

    The purpose of this course is to provide you with a basic understanding of the connections between money, the financial system, and the
    broader macroeconomy. We will examine the economics of modern financial institutions (e.g. banks), including how they are organized, the
    products and financial services they offer, the risks they take, why and how they are regulated, and how this has changed over time. We will
    develop a conceptual framework that will allow us to assess how recent financial regulations as well as innovations in finance (e.g.,
    securitization, fintech, cryptocurrencies) may influence the macroeconomic, financial, and business environment.

    Thank You, Coursera, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign I was a science background post-graduate student. Due to my high interest in banks and Financial Institutions, I was looking to learn these topics eagerly and briefly. I Looked for most of the platforms for this type of course. Finally, I found it on Coursera. After watching the lectures by Professor Rustom Manouchehri Irani Sir, I have learned the banking concept more clearly than ever before. Video LEctures, Peer Assignment Participation, and Attaining Quiz Exam, I never felt that I was attending an online class. All these credits goes to COURSERA because they give chances to learners of any background or any country. I praised and thank you Coursera team for their supportiveness and Hard work for the learners I highly recommended this course to the learners I rate 10 out of 10 this course cause I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

    I recently had the pleasure of using the financial banking services of ABC Bank. My experience was overwhelmingly positive. The customer service was friendly and helpful, and the banking staff was knowledgeable and professional. The online banking tools and mobile app were also very user-friendly, allowing me to easily check my account balance, make transfers, and pay bills. I felt that my money was safe and secure, and I appreciate the variety of banking options that were available. Overall, I am very satisfied with ABC Bank and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy financial institution.

    Just completed the University of Illinois' Banking and Financial Institutions Course! 🎉 I'm thrilled to share that I've successfully completed the Banking and Financial Institutions course at the University of Illinois. 🏦 This learning journey has been both enlightening and empowering, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me along the way. As the great Warren Buffett once said, "The best investment you can make is in yourself." Investing in education is indeed one of the most valuable choices we can make. It equips us with knowledge, skills, and a broader perspective, ultimately opening doors to new opportunities in the ever-evolving world of finance. I've learned that the financial landscape is complex and ever-changing, but with dedication and the right education, we can navigate it with confidence. This course has not only deepened my understanding of the banking sector but has also shown me the importance of continuous learning in our professional journeys. I'm excited to apply what I've learned and contribute to the world of finance. Let's remember that learning is a lifelong endeavor, and the best investments we can make are in our own growth and development. Thank you to the University of Illinois and all those who have encouraged me on this educational path. Here's to the power of education and the exciting opportunities it brings! 🚀
