Methodology and sources
Every figure is computed live from the Financeradar catalog, published checking accounts only. Each rate and fee is verified by Financeradar against each provider's own published rate or disclosure and date-stamped (the "as of" date shown above). Averages, ranges and shares are taken across the products that carry a published figure for that field, and the sample size is stated next to each number. Nothing here is financial advice.
