FAQ

People often ask us

A money market savings account, also called a money market account, is a tiered savings account that offers higher interest rates as your savings grow. Interest is compounded daily and paid out monthly, which helps your account balance grow more quickly than a traditional savings account.

A money market account is a great choice when you want to save money but aren't sure when you'll need access to your funds. It offers a couple of advantages over other types of savings accounts. First, it's a tiered savings account, which means you can earn more interest as your account balance grows. And unlike certificates of deposit, or CDs, you can withdraw funds without penalty, up to the regulatory limit of 6 transactions per month. This means you can access your funds when you need them, rather than having to wait for them to mature.

The main difference between a money market account and a regular savings account is interest. Money market accounts typically offer higher interest rates, and those rates are tiered based on the account balance. In other words, you earn more when you save more. Regular savings accounts, on the other hand, have the same rate regardless of your balance.

Other differences include fees and the minimum opening deposit required for each type of account. Be sure to compare these details when choosing which type of account to open. Talking to a banker at your local branch can also help you decide which account is right for you.

You can open a money market account online in only a few minutes. We'll ask you to provide some personal details before you can fund your account. The minimum opening deposit is $500. Once your account is open, you can enroll in online Digital Banking and access everything it has to offer. If you'd like to open your account in person, you can visit a local branch.

The minimum opening deposit for a money market savings account is $500. To waive the $10 monthly maintenance fee, maintain a daily balance of $1,000.

Yes. Your money market account is FDIC-insured up to $250,000.
