I compared four savings accounts over two weekends. The rate that was highlighted here is the rate that appeared on my statement, including the bonus tier I sit in. That is rarer than it should be.
Putting fees, rates and minimum balance in the same row made the differences obvious at a glance. I would sort by total annual cost rather than choosing the sort myself each time, but the data under the numbers was properly sourced.
I run a small logistics company and the business account section listed fees I had never heard of, including a charge for inbound transfers above a threshold. I moved the account and saved most of a month of turnover in charges.
Every mainstream bank is covered properly with full rate and fee tables. The building societies and credit unions I use were missing entirely, which is a shame because that is where I get the better rate.
I was about to move for a headline rate that had a twelve-month lock-in. The page flagged the lock-in and the exit fee in the notes, so I picked the account without it instead. That warning alone was worth the visit.
My income moves around, so a no-monthly-fee account is the priority. Setting that filter first left me a short, believable list instead of a ranking where the cheapest-looking account had a fee hidden further down.
We compared jointly, then separately, then decided we wanted two individual accounts with the same bank. Being able to look at both arrangements on one screen made that conversation much easier than two browser tabs.
Every page I needed was there and the figures were consistent. The first load of each page takes a few seconds on my connection, though, so I would like a lighter version of the listing pages.
The student section only showed the accounts I was actually eligible for, with the student overdraft limits written out plainly. Submitted the application that night and had an account number before the weekend.
The comparison side is genuinely good. Once the account was open there was nothing to come back for, no in-app rate tracking or alerts on changes, and no way to ask a question. I checked back in a year and found it static.
Each listing carries a short note explaining what a fee means in practice and when it actually applies. I have read the same explanation three times across different accounts, so the wording is consistent, which is rarer than it should be.
Each listing shows when the figures were last confirmed by the institution, which stopped me from chasing a rate that had expired. I would like the same note on the summary page so I know how fresh the comparison is.
