By MoneyRates Team | Money Rates Columnist

The new Find A Better Bank tool now featured on Money-Rates.com does much more than just find banks in your local area - it allows consumers to find the best bank for their particular needs. The tool allows users to rate how important the following banking features are to them:

  • Interest on balances
  • Overdraft Protection
  • Online Bill Pay Service
  • 24-hour automated telephone banking
  • Email Alerts for balances, transfers, payments or deposits
  • Mobile banking services
  • Download activity to Quicken or MS Money
  • Unlimited check-writing
  • Debit Card Reward Program
  • Non-Bank ATM Fee Rebate
  • Free additional linked deposit account(s) (i.e., savings, money market, checking)
  • Free or discounted check-printing services

After taking into account the estimated fees your banking activity typically generates the Find A Better Bank tool then returns a list of banks which best match your needs. In another few steps you can even open an account and switch over from your current bank. What makes this tool completely different from other banking comparision sites is the intelligence behind the scene matching a visitor's banking needs to a list of banks that best matches them. The bank comparision tool is powered by technology from Facilitas, Inc.

I tried it and received some strange results for instance it gave me a bank 1331 miles away that pays less than a bank right down my street which was not on their list? Why would that be?

Nice-looking site though.
