How we choose in banking

  • Rates from the bank's own page

    We read every APY off the bank's own rate page, not a press release or another comparison site, and stamp it with the date we checked.

  • Fees and fine print next to the rate

    A high APY that needs a $1,000 minimum, a balance cap or a monthly fee is shown with those conditions, not hidden behind the headline number.

  • Current prints rank first

    A rate we last checked more than 14 days ago stays listed with its date, but it never outranks a current one.

  • No paid placement

    Banks cannot pay to move up a list. Some links may earn us a commission, and it never changes a ranking.

Frequently asked questions

How often do you update bank rates?

Every rate shows the date we last verified it against the bank's own page. Rates older than 14 days stay visible with that date, flagged as older, and rank below current ones.

What is the difference between savings, CDs, checking and money market accounts?

Checking is for everyday spending. Savings pays more interest on money you do not touch often, and its rate can change at any time. A CD locks a rate for a fixed term in exchange for an early withdrawal penalty. A money market account is like savings with check writing or a debit card.

Are online banks safe?

Banks that are FDIC members insure deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank, per ownership category, online or not. We list the coverage behind each account so you can see who actually holds your money.

Do banks pay you to be listed?

No. Banks cannot buy a position on a list or edit a review. Some links may earn Financeradar a commission, and that never changes a ranking. The details are on our how we make money page.
