The highest money market rate as of today is 4.89%, significantly higher than the national average rate of 0.53%.
Money market accounts function as interest-bearing deposit accounts similar to savings accounts, providing growth in interest over time.
These accounts are secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) for banks and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for credit unions up to $250,000 per depositor.
When opening a money market account, consider the best yields on the market, minimum requirements, account fees, withdrawal limits, and other features to find the most suitable option.
