Thank you for the feedback. Actually, I decided to start with neobanks for different reasons: 1. It is significantly easier to collect information about neobanks than it is about traditional banks. Specially here in Europe, where there are so many languages. 2. Because of my business field, I already have knowledge and experience researching online banks and I have / have had accounts in many of the banks listed.

Out of the 170+ banks listed, only 3 of them have an affiliate link. My intention at this moment is testing the idea, so I found neobanks the easiest way to get started. Now that I see there is a big demand for traditional banks to be listed on the platform, I will definitely do so!

If you are using the filter "My Location", it will show banks that accept clients from your country. If you use "Bank Location" instead, it will show banks that are based in that country.

You can actually sort by APY (interest), but as I mentioned, most of the banks are EU focused, so you won't find many options for the US. I'm planning to add US banks soon.

Thank you for the feedback. I wanted to focus on online banks in the beginning, but I will add more "traditional" banks too

Maybe I will...
