StudyFinder & Banking System

Overview

This project is a C++ Command-Line Interface (CLI) application that integrates two core subsystems:

• Banking System: Enables users to create bank accounts, log in, deposit, withdraw, transfer funds, and manage PIN codes.
• StudyFinder System: Helps students search and apply for university programs based on their qualifications, including GPA and English proficiency.

The application utilizes object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and incorporates structured data handling with vectors and classes, making it a strong example of C++ software development for practical use cases.
