Money Market Select

Named 2023 Best Money Market Account for small balances by Investopedia.


Build your savings and earn up to 2.00% APY1

Like a savings account, our Money Market Select account pays interest and is insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). The difference is that this account lets you write checks2, and is a reverse tier account — so it offers higher rates than a traditional savings account for smaller balances.

    Our Money Market Select account dividend is paid at tiered rates based on the deposit amount. For example, you’ll earn 2.00% APY on the first $2,000.00. Then 1.50% APY on the balance between $2,000.01 and $5,000.00 — giving you a blended, combined rate of 1.00% APY.
    Use our calculator above to see how much your savings can earn each year.

Money Market Select IRA

A Money Market Select IRA is a good option if you want insured retirement savings or if you are in transition, such as consolidating your previous employer’s 401k or deciding what to do as you’re starting out:

  • 2.00% APY on balances up to $2,000.001
  • No monthly fees, no minimum balance
  • Deposits and withdrawals subject to IRA limitations5

1 APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are valid as of 12/01/2022 and are subject to change after account opening without notice. Interest is paid at tier rates on balances within each tier. Total interest paid is the sum from each tier. Blended APY shown assumes the amount entered is held in the account for one year. Withdrawing funds before one year will result in a different realized rate. No minimum deposit required to open an account. Limit one Money Market Select Account and one Money Market Select IRA Account per account number.
