The Rate Pulse · live from the central banks

Every rate that moves your money, the day it moves.

Policy rates straight from each central bank's own data, refreshed about every six hours. When one changes, its tile lights up — and the desk below matches your cash to the accounts we hold.

Ask the desk

Where does my cash earn most — where I live?

Three answers — country, how much, how soon you need it — give one account we'd open and one alternative. Only accounts we hold, and no rate unless we can show where and when it was published.

Deposit protection varies by country and provider; e-money balances are safeguarded, not deposit-insured. Capital at risk for any non-deposit product.

Common questions

How many banks does BestAiGlobalBank compare?

33 AI-powered neobanks and digital banks across 14 countries and 4 regions. The list is the whole comparison set, not a paid shortlist — providers we hold no commercial relationship with are included on the same terms as those we do.

How do AI neobanks actually use AI?

Mostly in four places: fraud and anomaly detection on transactions, automated customer support, spending categorisation and forecasting, and credit or risk decisioning. What differs between providers is how much is genuinely model-driven versus rules dressed up as AI, which is why the comparison lists concrete features rather than an overall AI score.

Which account is best for international transfers?

There is no single answer, and this site does not publish one. The cost of a transfer depends on the corridor, the amount, whether the provider uses the mid-market rate, and what its fixed fee is — a provider that is cheapest for EUR to USD at scale can be the most expensive for a small transfer to a thin-market currency. Compare the specific corridor and amount you actually send, and check the provider's own published fee schedule on the day.

Where do the figures on this site come from?

From the provider's or the regulator's own documents. Every asset figure carries the source it was taken from and the currency the institution itself reports in; a figure we cannot source is not published rather than estimated. Fees, limits and features change without notice, so always confirm on the provider's site before opening an account.

How is BestAiGlobalBank funded, and does it affect the rankings?

By affiliate commission. When you open an account through a link marked with an arrow, BestAiGlobalBank, published by NorwegianSpark SA, may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change what is listed, the order it is listed in, or what you pay. Providers with no affiliate programme are compared alongside those with one.
