Finance capstones for MBA, PGDM and BBA
Finance capstone projects, run in a virtual bank.
A TrezCap capstone is an end-to-end finance case worked inside FinTreasury Bank, our virtual bank, or one of its client companies. Students take the decisions and write the recommendation, the platform calculates every figure, and your own faculty grade the write-up against a rubric. A graded capstone counts towards a Certificate of Completion.
How a capstone runs
- Faculty assign it. Choose a track and level for a cohort, with a submission deadline.
- Students work the case. They take the decisions and write a recommendation; the platform calculates every figure.
- The platform scores the evidence, the same way for every student.
- Your faculty grade the write-up against the case’s rubric. Nobody can grade their own work.
- It counts towards a Certificate of Completion that anyone can verify online.
Capstone tracks
The tracks faculty can assign today. Where a level is missing, the track says so rather than relabelling a harder case.

What a TrezCap capstone is, and is not
It is a deep finance case: treasury and FX, investment, corporate finance, risk, and banking and liquidity, inside one virtual bank and its client companies, with every figure calculated and every decision recorded for faculty to see.
It is not a whole-company strategy game across marketing, operations and HR. If your course needs one, a TrezCap capstone works alongside it as the finance case.
