Editorial Policy and Assessment Methodology
At SavingsAccounts.com our goal is to help our visitors make informed decisions about their savings. Our staff endeavors to create clear, engaging and exhaustive content on the subjects that matter to those exploring their savings options. This includes thorough articles on the main types of savings products, in-depth reviews of major banks, and articles on niche topics of interest. We take responsibility for the accuracy of the information and the opinions published in its articles, reviews, and research studies. All writers for SavingsAccounts.com — staff and freelance contributors — must ensure that their articles are fact-based, truthful, and reflect their honest opinions. The opinions expressed on SavingsAccounts.com are the author’s alone, not those of the bank advertiser. Editorial content has not been reviewed, approved or otherwise endorsed by the bank advertiser.
If we have made an error, or if our information is misleading, we welcome the opportunity to correct it.
SavingsAccounts.com does not receive compensation from any company, product or person mentioned in our editorial content, including assessments, unless it has been specifically disclosed in the article. If we feature an article by a third party — one that does not feature an assessment — we include the word “Sponsored” next to the byline or in another prominent location above the fold. If an advertiser decides to sponsor a page written by one of our writers, the editorial content is strictly ours and reflects the honest opinions of our writers and the research they conducted. In this case, we would also indicate that the article is “Sponsored.”
Product Assessments and Rankings
SavingsAccounts.com features product rankings in order to help consumers decide which products fit their needs. Our assessments are based on extensive research and analysis by our SavingsAccounts.com team; they are independent of any relationships we have with advertisers. The conclusions represented in our rankings are based on data and the expertise of the SavingsAccounts.com editorial team.
SavingsAccounts.com compiles rates on approximately 1,900 deposit products from over 400 U.S. banking institutions — national and local banks and other financial institutions.
