How we compare bank plans

Our structured methodology ensures fair comparison across price, benefits, and suitability for families.

Criteria	What we measure	Why it matters
Monthly fees	Base cost, waivers, family add-ons	Direct impact on household budget
Interest & savings	Savings APY, required balances	Long-term growth and earning power
Rewards & perks	Cashback, partner discounts, family rewards	Offset costs and increase value
Accessibility	Branch network, mobile app quality	Everyday convenience for families

We update our dataset quarterly and verify terms directly with banks and official disclosures.
