Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Advertiser disclosure
Our customer satisfaction awards are decided by the only votes that really matter – yours. We asked customers of major US savings providers to tell us about their experiences. We can now reveal the results.
The winners
The winners are based on both overall satisfaction scores (star ratings) and recommendation scores (the percentage of customers who said they’d recommend the brand to a friend).
Here are the winners of Finder’s Savings Customer Satisfaction Awards for 2024.

Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
In December 2023, we ran a customer satisfaction survey on savings accounts. We received 2,944 responses from customers who told us how happy (or not) they were with their savings account provider.
The survey asked respondents to rate how satisfied they were with their savings account on a scale from 1 to 5, and whether they would recommend their banking provider to a friend. We turned the results into star ratings and shortlisted the top-performing brands for our awards. Where there was a draw in terms of star ratings, we used the recommendation score (the percentage of customers who said they would recommend the brand to a friend) as a tie-breaker.
Savings ratings
★★★★★ — Excellent
★★★★★ — Good
★★★★★ — Average
★★★★★ — Subpar
★★★★★ — Poor
The customer satisfaction score is based on a survey of 2,224 responses, which was carried out in December 2023.
