Making financial comparisons easy with Google Advisor
May 19, 2011
Financial decisions may be some of the most difficult decisions we face—whether it’s finding the right credit card or understanding the impact of paying an extra point on a mortgage. And these days, it seems like we have more financial options than ever.
To help solve these problems, we began testing a mortgage comparison tool in
2009
and have added other financial products such as credit cards, CDs, checking, and savings accounts. Today, we’re rolling these tools into one place:
Google Advisor
, a site designed to help you quickly find relevant financial products from many providers and compare them side-by-side. Google Advisor is currently only available in the U.S.
With Google Advisor, you enter information about what you’re looking for in a
mortgage
,
credit card
,
CD
, or
checking
and
savings
account. We show you a list of the offers that match your criteria, along with rates and contact information. Google Advisor is designed especially to help you make these difficult financial decisions easily, with:
Speed
: As you change your criteria, the results update instantly. You’ll still have a list of all your options in one place, so you can quickly compare different offers.
Trust
: By setting your own search criteria, you’re able to see only those offers and rates that apply to you, which means you can compare applicable offers without even contacting a provider first.
Control
: You only need to provide the minimum amount of information we need to show you offers that are right for you. You have full control over what you want to share, and which providers you choose to talk to—and you don’t have to submit any personal information until you’ve decided you’re ready to move forward.
For more information on how Google works with these financial providers, please visit our
Help Center
.
If you’re looking for a mortgage, a new credit card, or just want to see if your savings account gives you the best interest rate, visit
advisor.google.com
. We hope Google Advisor helps you easily make the decision that’s right for you!
