So I wanted to write a basic console based banking app to practice my skills. It makes use of BigDecimal to ensure accuracy. Here is the MVP I plan to enhance it with all banking features soon. I tried to follow the MVC idea as close as possible, I'm pretty happy with the outcome, although I was questioning myself about some things like how I was creating the new account. As of now it can only accept one user, I plan to add some sort of data persistence like SQLite to practice with. Also there is no check to enforce the user to enter their details when creating an account so those fields can be blank. I will be enhancing this in the near future. Any peer reviews greatly appreciated on how my style could be improved, better way of handling how I did it or anything etc.

Your Prompter class is quite big, and has several responsibilities: prompting for action, validating input and performing the action. It is very volatile, as any new action requires also updating the prompter. I'd break out the actions to their own classes, implementing an BankingAction interface. The prompter would then contain a list of actions, either through a constructor parameter or registered via a registerAction(BankingAction action) method. When prompting, it'd check this list, dispatch the action to the correct instance and be done with it.
