Money Market Accounts FAQs

A money market account is a type of savings account offered by banks and financial institutions. These accounts typically offer higher interest rates than regular savings accounts but often come with additional requirements, such as minimum deposits or withdrawal limits.
Money market accounts held at credit unions are insured by the NCUA (National Credit Union Administration) up to $250,000 per depositor, per institution. This means your funds are protected.
While similar in name, money market accounts and money market mutual funds are different financial products. Money market accounts are a type of savings account offered by banks and credit unions. They typically offer a higher interest rate than traditional savings accounts but may have withdrawal limitations.

Money market mutual funds are mutual funds that invest in low-risk, short-term debt securities. Money market mutual funds are not FDIC insured, therefore there is a small risk that you could lose money invested in a money market mutual fund.
Market conditions generally fluctuate based on broader economic factors. Different banks or credit unions may offer varying APYs. Larger balances sometimes earn higher interest rates.
Money market accounts provide higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts.
