Money Market Account FAQs
How is interest calculated on a money market account?
Interest is typically calculated daily based on your account balance and paid out monthly. The rate you earn may vary depending on your balance tier, meaning higher balances may qualify for higher dividend rates over time.
Is there a minimum balance required?
Money market accounts often have a minimum balance requirement to open the account and/or to earn the stated interest rate. Maintaining a higher balance may also help you qualify for better dividend tiers. You can view current requirements on our account disclosures or rate page.
Can I withdraw money from a money market account anytime?
Yes, money market accounts are designed to provide flexible access to your funds. You can typically withdraw or transfer money as needed, though federal transaction limits may apply depending on account rules and regulatory guidelines.
How is a money market account different from a savings account?
A money market account generally offers higher interest rates than a traditional savings account, especially at higher balances. In exchange, it may require a higher minimum balance. Both accounts are safe places to save, but money market accounts are better suited for members who want stronger earnings while still maintaining access to their money.
