Tech Tuesday – Use BankRate to Find Best Interest Rates
Looking for a mortgage loan? Or maybe you want to put your savings in a CD? You can quickly search for the best interest rates at BankRate.com. I first used it when my husband and I were engaged and planning our wedding. We opened our first joint checking account together and I wondered if there were any that paid interest. I went on BankRate.com, found a checking account that did pay interest (with no minimum balance) and so began our financial tethering. While we were setting up that account, I noticed that the bank offered an equity line that was one point MINUS prime; my husband had been paying the standard one point PLUS prime. So we switched that over, too, while we were at it.
Great, useful site. We’ll be using it again soon as we search for the best mortgage rate (if we’re able to sell our house). Fingers crossed!
