About this project

Is Menard Community Demo Bank a real bank?+

No. It is a fictional bank built by software engineering students as a capstone project. It is not chartered, licensed, or FDIC insured, and it does not hold real money.

Can I deposit real money?+

No. Every deposit method in online banking is simulated. No card is charged and no money moves. Never send real funds to anyone claiming to represent this site.

Why does the site look so realistic?+

The project's goal is to show that the team can build and operate a production-quality banking platform. The demo banner and disclaimer appear on every page so no one is misled.
