The average money market rate today is 0.53%, but the best rate available is 4.89%.
Money market accounts function like interest-bearing deposit accounts, offering higher interest rates compared to regular savings accounts.
These accounts are insured by the FDIC for banks and the NCUA for credit unions up to $250,000 per depositor.
Before opening a money market account, compare rates, minimum deposits, fees, and withdrawal limits at different banks or credit unions to find the best fit.
