What is Deposit Accounts?

We're a different kind of bank account comparison site and appreciate you taking the time to get to know us.

We’re Unbiased

We are the first major bank account comparison site that's truly unbiased. While other sites omit or hide the best rates available in order to promote their advertisers, advertising relationships never affect which rates we include in our tables. We receive no compensation for over 99% of the banks we list. While this doesn't produce the most short-term revenue, we're confident that doing what's best for the users will help us draw traffic away from the other leading sites and become the go-to site in the long run.

We’re Original

The majority of other bank account comparison sites get their data from one of three major sources. As mentioned before, each of these tend to leave out banks with better rates than their advertisers. We don’t. All of our listings come from our own direct research of bank and credit union websites or reports submitted by our readers.

We’re Comprehensive

We track and display over 275,000 rates from US banks and credit unions (far more than our major competitors). In addition we provide health ratings for every bank or credit union in the United States that is FDIC or NCUA insured and update these ratings every quarter.

We have been covering current deals and promotions for over six years. To date we have published over 8,000 blog posts highlighting current banking deals. In addition our visitors have contributed over 44,000 comments and forum threads providing additional information.

We Have the Best Rates

Our unbiased nature and massive database of rates allows us to provide you with far better rates than our competitors. We don’t just track the national banks; we also track the regional and local banks and credit unions which often have the best deals. Here is a chart to give you an idea, but don’t take our word for it, go check for yourself.

We Make it Easy

Unlike many other sites, you don’t have to register or provide your email address in order to see our rates; they are instantly available for any anonymous visitor. Our tables can easily be filtered and sorted to provide you with the rates you want to see. By default we show you all offers available in your state and nationwide, but from there it’s up to you. Do you want to know who has the best rate for a particular deposit amount? You can filter on that. Do you only want to see results with a nearby physical location? You can do that too.

We also provide a single location to find all the info you want on a bank. Simply search for a bank by name and you will be taken to a hub page containing its contact info, health stats and when available, its current rates, reviews, and all blog and forum posts we have available, regarding that bank.

Who is Behind Deposit Accounts?

Deposit Accounts was originally created by Ken Tumin as the "Bank Deals Blog." After discovering there was a real shortage of quality bank information online, Ken started this blog in 2005 as a hobby to highlight some of the deals he found. Over the past several years, this blog has grown significantly and has become one of the most trusted resources on the Web for researching current bank deals.

In November of 2009 the Bank Deals Blog became DepositAccounts.com and many new features were added including the full rate tables, reviews, health statistics, notifications and a forum. Although it is quickly becoming one of the top banking resources, the site is still fairly young and growing and adapting very quickly.
