Now you will research a variety of financial institutions (banks, etc) and their services. You will then identify one service that you believe best supports your personal financial goals and write a short argumentative essay supporting your choice.
Please keep in mind that this is for research purposes only. Do not give your personal information to any financial website that you visit.
You will need to:
Research a variety of financial institutions. You should visit several websites.
Look at the services they offer including things like checking accounts, savings accounts, online banking, apps, and other services that interest you.
Compare and contrast those services so that you can choose one service that you think best supports a financial goal that you personally have.
Write an essay that describes the service and uses evidence to support your opinion that it could help you to reach a personal financial goal.
Here are some websites that can help you with your research. You may also need or want to find your own sources:
Major Types of Financial Institutions
Financial Products & Services- The Basics
U.S. Banks and Branches Database (This will provide you with a list of banks in the United States and their web addresses and other information.)
Your argumentative essay should:
Include an introduction with a thesis statement (this will be where you make it clear which banking service you think is best for you)
One body paragraph that describes the banking service that you have chosen.
At least one body paragraph that supports your thesis. This is where you will include evidence from your research that supports the reasons why you think you have chosen the best banking service for yourself.
