For the 2023 edition of Best Banks, Money evaluated 293 financial institutions, including national banks, direct or online banks, and credit unions. We looked at hundreds of data points covering minimum deposits, rates, fees, and other features like customer service and convenience.
Of those 293 institutions, we established Money's top picks in the following categories: best national banks, best online banks, best credit unions, best banks for students, best banks for seniors, and best military banks and credit unions.
We also looked at four regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and West. Finally, we examined California, Texas, Florida and New York in this year's edition.
Data analyzed was provided by Curinos in summer 2023.
Money's Best Banks is one of the publication's oldest franchises, providing readers an annual analysis of the institutions best for everyday banking needs.
