Bankaholic announced the launch of a new certificate of deposit rate comparison engine that allows readers to compare interest rates and customer reviews of over 50 national banks and credit unions.

The table can be sorted by interest rate, length of term, minimum deposit and bank rating. Consumers can add their own ratings of banks, which are shared with other readers. Banks are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.

"I am really excited to launch this new rate table," said Johns Wu, founder of Bankaholic. "The AJAX interface that our talented coders implemented is really slick and user-friendly! Our coders did a phenomenal job. I love the robust bank review system, and I anticipate that customer generated reviews will really add value to the site."

"I am a big fan of AJAXified web applications," said Tian Do, lead developer at Bankaholic. "They provide a good user-experience, and in our preliminary beta tests, was shown to lift user-engagement metrics by over 63%."

In addition, an improved money market and high interest savings account engine is slated to launch late January, with a similar user-interface. The rate table will list interest rates of liquid money market and high interest savings accounts from over 50 national banks and credit unions.
