Make learning fun
Capturing your students’ attention is easy with Banqer Primary. We simulate real life events, like earning salaries for doing class jobs and buying your first car, to keep students coming back.
Our student videos make financial concepts accessible to different learning styles.
Learning is enhanced with pre-prepared group activities where students can apply their knowledge in fun ways. Innovative ideas for bringing Banqer alive in the classroom are also shared on our Banqer Primary community.
Motivate and incentivise
your students
Banqer comes with an inbuilt incentive system for use in your learning environment.
Motivate your students to complete classwork or positively reinforce behaviour you want to see with Banqer dollars. Students can then exchange these for rewards in the classrooms, or use them to purchase transport or property straight from their dashboards. They can even donate to a charity of their choice within the platform.
