Savings rates changes / alerts

Can anyone suggest any automated way of getting alerts on changes in savings rates, other than manual checks of usual websites (*) on a daily/weekly basis. I'm more interested in fixed term (3- & 5- yr) accounts from a couple of banks, but willing to be flexible.
I have a couple of 5-year fixed term accounts with A Bank. The Bank in question used to offer e-mail alerts when it changed its rates, but stopped doing them (when I asked, I told it was for "regulatory reasons").

(*) Currently, one of my "Go To" sources for such interest rates is:

Love it! One of those answers that could mean whatever you want it to. A bit like 'It would be inappropriate.' ;)
