Is a Money Market the Best Choice for Me?

Are you looking for a way to save money, but a savings account isn’t enough? A money market account is a no-risk, higher interest way to put your money away for a rainy day.

What is a Money Market Account?

A money market account is basically a savings account that offers easier withdrawals and a slightly higher interest rate. However, most money market accounts do have higher minimum deposits and balance requirements compared to a regular savings account. The good news is your money market deposits, like your other credit union deposits, are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration for up to $250,000. With a money market account, you can make up to six withdrawals or transfers each month, so you have easy access to your savings.

Is a Money Market Account the Best Choice?

If you’re torn between keeping your money in a savings account or opening a certificate of deposit (CD) or a money market account, we break down the choices:

 

Type of Account Interest Rate Why Choose This Account?
Money Market Account Slightly higher than with a savings account ·      Higher rate

·      Can make monthly withdrawals/transfers

Savings Account A bit lower than a money market account ·      Usually has a lower opening deposit and minimum balance

·      Easy access to your money

CD (Share certificate) Usually the highest rate of all accounts ·      You won’t need the money for months or years

·      Low risk with higher interest rates
