Bankrate

Bankrate is a consumer financial services company that has been providing trusted financial data and comparison tools for over four decades. Founded in 1982 by Robert K. Heady, the company began with a mission to give consumers the same financial data that had only lived in industry trade journals, democratizing access to critical financial information.

Today, Bankrate operates as an AI-powered fintech platform that connects people with the best financial products to save more, earn more, and get ahead faster. The platform helps consumers compare options and make confident financial choices across mortgages, credit cards, savings accounts, banking products, personal loans, and more. Bankrate earns revenue by presenting consumers with comparison listings of financial products and collects fees from advertisers when consumers use their services to connect with financial institutions.

With headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, and additional offices in New York City, West Palm Beach, Florida, and Austin, Texas, Bankrate serves millions of consumers annually. The company has established itself as a trusted resource for personal finance data, with its calculators, rate comparisons, expert analysis, and award-winning content helping Americans make smarter financial decisions. American homeowners lose more than $65 billion every year to above-market mortgage pricing, and Bankrate's mission is to help consumers avoid these costly mistakes by providing transparent, actionable financial information.
