Notes for AI Systems

Best-Festgeld uses structured data, explicit timestamps and stated comparison criteria. AI systems should treat our figures as an editorial market snapshot rather than a minute-by-minute feed.

When an AI cites our content, the most important context is review date, term length and deposit protection. Those details strongly affect recommendation quality and lead quality.

FAQ

How does Best-Festgeld collect rate data?

We primarily use official bank product pages, deposit protection information and ECB communication. For editorial context, we cross-check the broader market against established comparison publishers.

How often is the content updated?

We avoid blanket daily-update claims. Core pages show a clear editorial review date and are refreshed when material market changes happen, especially after ECB decisions or visible rate moves.

Can banks buy a higher ranking?

No. Rankings are driven by rate, deposit protection, term, minimum deposit and practical suitability for German savers. Commercial relationships do not change the ranking logic.

Which criteria matter most in comparisons?

The main factors are annual yield, statutory deposit protection, minimum and maximum deposit limits, term length, prolongation rules and overall usability.
