I have been using some comparison websites recently to compare savings interest rates but have started to wonder how accurate can they actually be? Many interest rates for accounts are variable and can change frequently, do such sites update accordingly or are weekly/monthly figures produced?

Not sure about the specifics behind this, but I read somewhere that about 25% of buy products via comparison sites, imagine if the info they provide us is not accurate and we still use them trustingly..

    Yeh but that is about insurance, perhaps account information is more thoroughly checked. Anyone know?
