There are two primary differences between a share certificate and a money market: accessibility and earnings. A share certificate doesn’t allow access to your deposited funds during the certificate’s set term (and you might pay a penalty for early withdrawal). A money market, on the other hand, offers greater liquidity and accessibility to your deposited funds. When it comes to interest rates, a share certificate offers a fixed rate based on a set term, regardless of the certificate amount. A money market provides tiered interest based on balance rather than term—the more you deposit, the more you earn.
There is no minimum balance required to open a money market account. However, a balance of at least $2,000 is required to start earning interest. Below this amount, your funds are secure, but no dividends are paid.
Our money markets have no monthly maintenance fees, so you can focus on growing your savings without worrying about hidden costs.
Money market accounts are designed to be liquid and offer you more flexibility in accessing your funds than other investment options. You can withdraw or transfer funds up to six times per month without penalties, and there’s no fee for closing the account.
If you exceed the limit of six withdrawals or transfers per month, you may incur a fee, and in some cases, the account may be converted to a regular savings account to comply with federal regulations.
Money market accounts aren’t intended for everyday use, and you may encounter a penalty for exceeding six withdrawals or transfers per month. A money market is a smart choice if you want to earn a higher rate of return than a traditional savings account and only need occasional access to the funds.
If you open a money market with a promotional rate, your account will revert to the standard rate for your balance tier when the promotional period ends.
