GOBankingRates Answers Americans' Biggest Questions About 2015 Interest Rates

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9, 2014 /PR Newswire/ -- 2015 will be a great year for car buyers but a tough one for savers, according to a new investigation released by GOBankingRates. As a premier interest rates website, GOBankingRates compiled 2015 projections for mortgage, credit card, car loan and banking rates from industry authorities, providing expert analysis to help consumers understand how rate changes next year will affect their wallets – and how they can prepare.

Additionally, the study includes a complete breakdown of historical trends and a beginner's guide to what influences interest rate increases.

"Next year, more than ever, it'll be crucial for Americans to track interest rates and adapt their spending and savings habits accordingly," said Casey Bond, GOBankingRates' managing editor. "For example, rising loan rates mean you should prioritize paying off debt, while low deposit rates overall mean you'll have to look harder to find higher yields -- and move quickly when they become available. Just because rates are higher or lower overall doesn't mean there aren't outliers – they're just harder to find. Luckily, sites like GOBankingRates.com make the search less grueling."

Additional insights:

• Credit Cards: Americans with variable-rate credit cards will see their payments increase.
• Car Financing: Auto loan rates will remain low but demand will increase; Americans will see better loan rates from big banks next year, as they fight to stay competitive with credit unions.
• Bank Accounts: Savers will need to shop around to find high-yield products that keep pace with inflation; their best option will be flexible accounts (like add-on or bump-up CDs) that allow for a rate increase.
