Congrats-–you’re climbing your way to the top of the mountain without even breaking out your hiking boots. Zero economic risk allows you to safely earn a higher return while keeping money market funds liquid in case your financial situation changes and you need a quick withdrawal.
Although a Money Market account does require a minimum balance of $1000, you can earn dividends at tiered annual percentage yield rates. This means you can get a jumpstart on earning while you're still building up your account.
Our Money Market accounts have variable APY* rates that automatically adjust based on the market. When the rates decrease, you don’t lose anything you put in; when they increase, you start benefiting without lifting a finger.
With 3 free withdrawals per month, you have stress-free access to your money market when you need it. There is no monthly service fee but once you hit 3 withdrawals, there's a $5 fee for each subsequent withdrawal. This number of withdrawals resets on the 1st of each month.
Don’t panic if you haven’t made up your mind just yet. Your financial health isn’t something to take lightly, and we don’t want you to rush into a relationship you aren’t prepared to nurture. Our goal is to arm you with the information you need to feel empowered to make educated decisions. After all, your journey is unique. Only you can determine what feels right.
Choose from the benefits below to discover the savings account made just for you:
I am looking to build a short-term savings strategy that provides immediate access to my funds. I am okay with a lower dividend if it means I can transfer or withdraw money as soon as I need it.
I am looking to build a mid-term savings strategy that provides easy access to my funds. I can plan ahead for accessibility needs and really just want to earn higher dividends than I would with a regular savings. I am not at a point where I can set aside money for a predetermined amount of time with no plans to withdraw funds.
I am ready to build a long-term savings strategy and have the ability to set aside funds for a long period of time. I don’t need to withdraw the funds and want a high return on my investment. I am also looking for more options in regards to interest rates and length of deposit period.
I am ready to plan for life after my career and want the highest return on my investment with the added benefit of tax advantages. I can set money aside for a long period of time and have no plans to use that money before I am able to withdraw funds.
