What is a good money market interest rate?

Interest rates  differ between financial institutions. Please visit the FDIC website for the latest national average on money market interest rates to get an idea as you look at the money market account offerings nearest you!

What’s a money market account vs savings?

The primary difference between a money market account and a traditional savings account is how you are able to access your money. A money market account allows checking account type transactions such as use of debit cards and ATM withdrawals. A money market account typically offers a higher interest rate than a traditional savings account because they generally require a higher minimum balance than a traditional savings account.

Is there a penalty for withdrawing money from a money market account?

There is no penalty on withdrawing money from a money market account. Money market accounts allow you to make withdrawals and transfers as often as you need.

^Deposit (contribution) and withdrawal restrictions apply for IRA Beacon Money Market Accounts.

Additional Note:

Some balances may be too low to be credited for interest earned if the interest rate is also low. We will credit interest earned equal to or greater than $0.01 during a statement cycle at the end of a cycle. For example, with a rate of 0.25%, a $40 daily balance would earn less than a $0.01 by the end of the statement cycle, resulting in no interest credited to the account.
