Bankrate.com over rated?

How does Washington Mutual not get a rating from Bankrate? Yet, Onbank, a new online savings bank gets 4 stars? Any thoughts?

Yes, Bankrate is overrated. Its primary focus is on advertising and paid listings.

Get rates at Bank Deals and get ratings at Bauer Financial and TheStreet.com Screener.

Bankrate's rating system is definitely over-rated. I don't even consider it at all.

As for sites, I'll add one to the list that sweeps gave: Bankaholic
