Banks vs Credit Unions Rate Search on Savings Accounts and CDs
I created and used this in my Personal Financial Math classes after we completed many worksheets that had students calculating interest based on 8% (and sometimes higher) interest rates. I had a student comment that they thought they could make that kind of money just from interest, so I had to give my students a "wake-up call." I created this search where students find current rates so they can see what they are actually earning.
