What is a money market account?
Like a savings account, a money market account is designed for you to save money, and you can make up to 6 withdrawals per month. Money market accounts are insured by the National Credit Union Administration just like our other savings accounts.
The biggest benefit to a money market account over a savings account, however, is that the interest rates are usually far superior. And at Patelco, we’ve got one of the highest rates around.*
At many banks, only accounts with very high balances can enjoy higher savings rates. But at Patelco, we care about every member’s financial well-being, which is why we want to reward every saver. That’s why the first $2,000 deposited in our Money Market Select account earns a very high rate of interest. This an especially good account for building up your emergency savings.
Check out the chart below to see how much you could earn.
