Membership at Navy Federal Credit Union is open to all Department of Defense and Coast Guard Active Duty, civilian, contract personnel, veterans and their families.

Like a jumbo certificate of deposit (CD), a jumbo money market account may require a higher minimum deposit and may offer a higher APY than regular money market accounts. But that’s not always the case. Compare rates on Bankrate to find the right account for your money.

A jumbo money market account may also reward you with a higher rate for higher balances.

The minimum opening deposit and balance requirements for standard money market accounts vary depending on the institution. Some don’t require a minimum amount. Others could require fees starting at $25,000 in order to secure a higher APY. Most requirements fall around $2,500.

Research methodology

A money market account can be great for earning a high APY. Some accounts may let you write a limited number of checks and also offer a debit card.

Many online banks offer a more competitive yield than brick-and-mortar banks. This is because online banks don’t usually have as much overhead, since they don’t operate physical branches. Online banks need to attract your attention, and high yields are a way to do this, which is good for savers.

Choosing an FDIC-insured money market account at an online bank is a safe way to get these high-yielding APYs. Just make sure that you’re within the FDIC’s guidelines and limits.
