Personal finance management website Geezeo is expanding to include the “Geezeo Financial Marketplace,” a one-stop destination where users can compare and review banking products. Users will now be able to search for the best savings accounts, credit cards, cds, student loans, and later, mortgages, auto loans, and brokerage accounts. Products can now be searched and compared based not only on traditional data, like rate and fee information, but also on user ratings and feedback from the Geezeo community.

Many people make their most important financial decisions, like which credit cards and bank accounts to use, with very little information and a great deal of uncertainty. The Marketplace will eliminate this uncertainty by simultaneously demonstrating the hard facts of a product as well as reveal what customers think of a specific product. Our users rate their financial products and provide feedback on integrity, customer service, and other intangibles not found in a prospectus.

“Community has always been core to the success of Geezeo,” says Peter Glyman, Geezeo’s Co-Founder. “Similar to how eBay members rate buyers and sellers to improve the experience for the next user, we see Geezeo members interacting the same way in the Marketplace.”

Geezeo is proud to offer the Marketplace as an additional service to their community because it exemplifies the company’s philosophy that real people can educate themselves about money management.

“There’s no debate that more people must step up and take control of their financial future,” says Shawn Ward, Co-Founder. “Since so few of us are taught basic money management skills at home or in school, we have a society that fears for their financial future. We want to assist people so they can actively plan for a brighter future. Our site gives people the tools they need — like budgets, financial education and goals — but just as importantly, we offer community and connection with others. Users educate each other through discussion, debate, and now, product ratings.”

Geezeo is a social finance company that combines free, easy-to-use online personal finance tools with the power of social networking to provide the resources, information and motivation consumers need to achieve their financial goals. Geezeo was the first web site to offer users text message access to all of their account balances and to aggregate all of a customer’s financial data on to a single platform free of charge. Geezeo is a privately-held company based in Hartford, Connecticut.
