What Is Bankability?
Bankability transforms your classroom into a real-world banking experience. Students earn virtual money for professional behaviors, receive direct deposits, manage accounts, pay bills, shop for rewards, and reflect on decisions.
By linking behavior, financial literacy, and executive functioning, Bankability builds independence and prepares students for life after graduation.

What Teachers Are Saying
“The skills Bankability imparts are invaluable — not just for students with special education needs, but for all students. I wholeheartedly recommend that schools consider integrating Bankability into their curriculum.”
“Bankability has made a huge impact on my students — preparing them for success and teaching them skills they’ll need far beyond the four walls of my classroom.”
“Using Bankability has forever changed how I manage my classroom. Now, when it’s time for an IEP meeting, all I need to do is log in and print the student’s progress report.”
“My students have become more verbal and eager to participate. Their self-regulation skills have grown significantly.”
Teachers reinforce behavior through real-world consequences — and students experience the direct connection between their actions and their financial outcomes, every single day.
