So, you've got a few bucks lying around the house and decide that putting it in a savings account is a practical, if conservative, thing to do. Then what? How do you make sure that you're gettting the best return on your money? After all, the interest rates on some savings accounts are just a tad better than keeping it under your mattress. SavingsAccounts.com, which bills itself as "Your Guide to Finding and Opening an Online Savings Account" hopes to meet the needs of consumers looking for the right savings accounts with a simple service that provides rates for different banks in the U.S., and links to the banks that are highlighted.

There aren't many bells and whistles at SavingsAccounts.com. There are, however, several articles within a resource center that provide information on how to reduce your debt, how to boost your savings, and banks offering new savings deals. From what I can tell, SavingsAccounts.com's business model appears to AdSense as the links to the banks on the site don't suggest there is a commission structure involved.

Over time, one would think SavingsAccounts.com would enhance the service with some more articles, tools, calculators, etc. but for the time being it's a basic resource for people looking to get a good return on their savings.  For people looking for more tools and financial information Google Finance and Yahoo Finance would be good places to start.
