logo MONEY MARKET (Current Interest Rates)

Interest tiers start at $500 and increase at $25K, again at $100K and again at $500K with this FDIC insured account.

Maintain at least $2500 to avoid the $8 per month service fee.

Money Market transactions are federally regulated to no more than six (6) convenience withdrawals per monthly cycle, three of which may be by check. Avoid the limits by visiting the bank in person and filling out an "Advice of Charge". This type of withdrawal is not considered convenient and is therefore not regulated. Be sure to use the "Advice of Charge" slip. Otherwise, the withdrawal or transfer may count toward the regulated limit. Over-the-limit regulated withdrawals cost $10 each.

Why all the regulations? That is a very good question. Legislation to raise the withdrawal limit to 24 per month has been proposed several times, but never been approved. For the time being the Federal Reserve requires banks to maintain reserves on transaction accounts (i.e. checking accounts). However, because of the limits, Money Market accounts are generally not considered transaction accounts. Therefore, no reserves are required. This helps explain why regulators look closely at the accounts to make sure the transaction limits are being enforced.
