Re: Looking for feedback on new site to check savings against FSA guarantee

I've recently developed a website which lets you quickly check whether
your savings across various banks are covered by the FSA's £35k
guarantee, and would like to get some feedback on it (constructive
criticism preferably!)

http://www.howsafeisyourmoney.co.uk

I'm looking for answers to questions like:

a) is it useful? if not, can you suggest any improvements?

b) is it easy to use? if not, what's the problem?

c) is it fast enough?

If you take the time to take a look - thanks! Please send me any
comments via email, rather than clogging up this list, or use the
comment page on the site.

In addition to typing in full details of all savings, what would be
really useful would be if you could just choose any bank from your
list and get a list of the other banks which were common deposit
takers. Basically, a user-friendly way of doing what seems more
complex when consulting the FSA database directly. That would help
people judge whether they have to look in more detail at their actual
savings, and would help those considering opening an account with a
new provider to know whether there would be any overlap/conflict.
