Welcome to the
IRA Bank Monitor
Shopping Cart.

IRA does not give investment advice or advocate the purchase or sale of any security or investment. This tool is primarily designed for consumers with large deposits above the FDIC insured limit or other relationships who want to monitor the safety and soundness of specific banks.

Keep in mind that banks, like all other business entities, come in many forms. They all provide financial services. But beneath the surface institutions can and do employ a variety of business practices to support these services. These reports do not judge banks per se. They are meant to make the operations of these banks more transparent so you, the consumer, can make your own judgment as how to best deploy your capital.

FAQS:

1. Is there a way I can test a demonstration version before registering?

Yes. Use IRA's free Credit Crisis Monitor Tool to look for banks. It uses the same server-side searching engine common to all IRA Bank Monitor products. But do note that the free tool does not display the complete set of "How's My Bank?" information.

2. Can I see a demonstration version of a sample report?

Yes. If you want to see a demo of the what the report looks like click here to see a randomly selected sample. Samples are locked to December 2005; a period prior to the currently unfolding credit crisis.

3. I'm a professional who needs to search for sound as well as distressed banks. Is there an optional upgrade I can buy to do this?
Yes. While IRA initially built the "How's My Bank?" system for individual consumers, since launch in mid-August 2008, IRA has heard from financial advisers, corporate treasurers, law firms and others about your need for a professional tool to search for banks fitting the needs of your asset management activities. We've calibrated your needs for a capability somewhere between the original bank-by-bank consumer tool and our full powered IRA Bank Monitor terminal offering.

There is a $500/yr optional upgrade capability you can add to your cart once you have registered that will enable you to search for banks by both upside and downside performance characteristics. Click on the Survey Tool once you are logged in for more information.
