Here's a great concept in matching customers with their banking needs - SavingsAccounts.com. It's a site that, while in its early days, may have the potential to really gel with online clients looking for a one-stop website.

Their claim;

SavingsAccounts.com is the perfect place to find the perfect online savings account for you. We can help you find the bank offering the highest returns with the specific account features that best suit your individual needs.

is certainly going to meet a need in the future but I think they still have quite a job ahead of them.

Here are some of the features that I'd like to see on this site;

• Either a tabular quick view of each financial institution displaying what they offer by showing a tick mark or similar. Or, a form where you could select the type of account requirements you were after and then a list that could be sorted by location, best rate, institution credit rating, monthly service fees etc was presented.


• Illustrated dates for when each of the interest rates were last updated so that the user could tell if they were current.


• A more complete list of financial institutions - currently it is only displaying 12 which includes some of the majors but certainly does not offer the full gamut on offer.


• A savings calculator - how great would it be to have a calculator available to estimate your savings based on each banks offerings. It may even be more beneficial to have a savings calculator whereby you could compare the same savings pattern and time period over a number of financial institutions.

So, while it's a good start, the true test will come as this website grows and offers users better tools to assess their options. After all, it is intended for this purpose.
