Chinmayi Devisetty "A perfect introduction to all finance jargon! These courses are amazing for anyone looking to develop a thorough understanding of banking in an efficient and engaging way. Not only do they cover the range of roles and the structure of each division, but they also explain how the technical concepts work and relate it to historical events and current news. Each video is bite-sized and concise yet packs in so much information! The diagrams simplify complex topics and make the content much more memorable too. To solidify my knowledge even further, there are extra pdf resources provided as well as fun quizzes. Would highly recommend - most comprehensive online resource I’ve found!"
