A money market account is an interest-bearing deposit account that can be opened at a bank or credit union, insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the FDIC or NCUA.
Money market accounts may offer higher interest rates than regular savings accounts, requiring higher minimum deposits and balances, with limits on transactions per statement period.
When considering a money market account, compare rates, minimum balance requirements, fees, and withdrawal limits across different institutions to find a competitive option..
