Choosing the right bank not only saves consumers money, but also provides peace of mind. MyBankTracker saw a strong need in the market for data-driven, authoritative resources that help consumers easily navigate this confusing landscape. The company will publish Awards every quarter for both banks and financial products. Methodology The top Checking Account selection was based on fees and ease of waiving them, widespread ATM access and branch locations, perks and consistent interest earned.
