    Bankrate.com SUPPOSEDLY collects national statistics and SUPPOSEDLY publishes interest rate data on every type of financial product. I say supposedly because there are arguably some 'outliers' that get left out of their averages.

    I think its an ok site for general information. Most of their advertising is also from lenders which makes me wonder if it skeews or causes them to water down information.

    I do not ever just have once for information. The more views you have of anything the better you are to have the whole picture.

    Thanks ladies, I thought it seemed like a good resource for basic info. but was wary of the numbers being true. I would use this as a guideline to what's out there, then follow thru with the actual company.

    I like their articles about ways to save money, and on general info, but I never used them for anything else.
