If you want to grow your savings while staying flexible, a Money Market Account (MMA) gives you the best of both worlds. It typically earns more than a basic Savings Account, keeps your money accessible when you need it, and offers fewer restrictions than a Certificate of Deposit.
A money market account is a type of interest-bearing savings account that helps your money grow without losing flexibility. You’ll typically benefit from:
Higher interest rates than standard savings accounts
Limited but convenient access to funds through withdrawals or transfers
Federally insured by NCUA
No long-term lockup—your money is yours to use
It’s ideal for building emergency funds, saving for short to mid-term goals, or earning more on cash you’re not quite ready to invest.
Let’s say you open your account with $5,000 at 1.5% APY*, compounded monthly, that balance would grow to about $5,075.00 in one year—without lifting a finger.
But let’s say you go a step further. You keep feeding your savings with $50 every month. Now, you’re looking at a year-end balance of approximately $5,679.86.
That’s the quiet power of compounding your money earning on itself, and on every extra dollar you add.
A Money Market Account is a smart option if you:
Are building or maintaining an emergency fund
Have short to mid-term savings goals
Want your cash to grow but still be available
Prefer a straightforward savings solution with flexibility
