How It Works:

The new website provides a simple way for consumers to input search criteria, including local cities, product types, amount range, and commitment time-frames. In addition, consumers can view approximately how much interest income they should expect based on their criteria. BankAround utilizes Informa Research Services' comprehensive data to power its search engine.
"The premise of BankAround is to increase the awareness of savings options so that Americans can begin to save more," stated Atul Patel, co-founder of BankAround. "We are offering an alternative to current Internet sources for this information, most of which are congested with non-relevant information, such as with content about loans and credit cards. BankAround.com is focused on helping consumers be more informed about savings options."
