What Are the Benefits of Money Market Accounts?

Money market savings accounts give you quick and reliable access to your money while helping you earn a higher return on your investment compared to a traditional savings account. Because you can make up to three withdrawals or transfers per month without incurring a fee, they also offer more liquidity than a savings certificate. Many people use money market accounts to save for unexpected purchases, major home repairs or other infrequent but necessary expenses since money market accounts let you easily transfer money from one FFCCU account into another. Have a checking account with us? If your paycheck is direct deposited, you can transfer money each month into a savings account as a quick and easy way to save. You’ll get our best money market rates and save on a regular basis.

Money market savings accounts are also one of the lowest risk savings vehicles available. As a FFCCU member, your account is insured up to $250,000 through American Share Insurance (ASI). This level of protection is often hard to find from a brokerage firm or other investment partner.

FAQs

Money market accounts at FFCCU offer a higher interest rate compared to traditional savings accounts – while offering easier access to your money compared to a share certificate. You can set up automatic deposits into your money market account or transfer funds into your account from other FFCCU accounts – such as a checking account. For example, you could choose to have your paycheck direct deposited into your checking account, and then transfer a percentage of that to your money market for long-term savings.

At FFCCU we offer four different savings tiers, and each tier requires a different minimum balance. Our lowest tier allows you to maintain your account with as little as $50. Our highest tier requires a minimum balance of $50,000. The higher your tier, the higher the annual percentage yield. Your monthly dividends are calculated based on your average daily balance for the month. For example, if you carry a $5,100 balance for the first 16 days of a 30 day month, and a $4,900 balance the last 14 days of that month, you would receive the higher annual percentage yield.

The minimum balance you must have in any money market account is $50. You’ll never be charged a fee for maintaining the account with $50 or more. Additionally, you will not be charged a fee unless you exceed the maximum number of withdrawals per month or if you would like us to issue checks from your account. You can make unlimited deposits and withdraw or transfer funds up to three times per month. Additional withdrawals or transfers will incur a $10 fee per transaction.

No, the money in your money market account is yours. You can withdraw up to three transactions per month as long as your balance does not dip below $50. These accounts do not offer credit.

At FFCCU, every member account is insured up to $250,000 through American Share Insurance (ASI). This dollar amount is the total you have with us across all your accounts: checking, traditional savings, money market, etc. ACI is the nation’s largest provider of private share insurance for credit unions.

Yes – and that’s one of the big benefits of a money market account! You can make electronic/ACH withdrawals or transfers, or withdraw money in a branch up to three times per month. Additional withdrawals or transfers will incur a $10 fee per transaction.

Money market savings accounts are one of the lower risk forms of investments available. Your account will not experience the fluctuations that happen with stock or brokerage investments, and every FFCCU member account is insured up to $250,000 through American Share Insurance (ASI).

Unlimited, but I’m not sure this is a question worth asking because why would you have a bunch instead of just 1-2 because you can earn much more interest. Personally, I’d scratch this.

In many ways, it’s a lot like a savings account or checking account – however you are limited in the number of withdrawals or transfers you can make per month.

Absolutely. You can set up automatic payment for your mortgage, car loan or other reoccurring bills. However, you want to limit these withdrawals to less than three per month. Additional withdrawals or transfers will incur a $10 fee per transaction.
