America First Credit Union offers a wide array of CDs, giving consumers a large list of terms to choose from. To boot, all CDs earn competitive yields. Just $500 is needed to open a CD and earn interest.	Members have access to term savings accounts (another name for certificates of deposit). The bank offers term lengths ranging from three months to five years. No specialty term savings accounts are offered, such as a no-penalty account. All of the CD terms pay annual percentage yields (APYs) that are above the national average, and a handful of the terms offer some of the highest APYs on the market today. Larger deposits are rewarded with a higher yield, as deposits of $100,000 or more earn an additional 0.1 percent APY, according to the bank’s website. Quorum’s CDs all require a manageable $1,000 minimum deposit to open. The accounts are insured by the National Credit Union Association's Share Insurance Fund. Quorum also offers IRA CDs with terms ranging from three months to five years.

America First’s Money Market Savings account comes with tiered APYs that increase with higher account balances. While rates are decent and higher than the share savings rate, there are better rates available elsewhere. The money market account has no minimum balance requirement or monthly fees. There also is no transaction limit — members can make withdrawals at an ATM or credit union branch. Unlike the share savings account, the money market account can be opened online.	RBFCU offers two types of money market accounts: the Classic Money Market account and the Choice Money Market account. For the Classic Money Market account, the same APY is offered on balances of $2,500 or more. With the Choice Money Market account, a tiered rate structure applies. At the time of Bankrate’s review, the $2,500-$10,000 tier earned the account’s highest APY, followed by the $10,000-$25,000 tier. Balances of $25,000 or more earned the lowest APY. RBFCU’s top-tier APY for the Choice Money Market account was above the national average at the time of Bankrate’s review, though you can find higher yields at other institutions. A $2,500 minimum balance is required to open each money market account, and neither charges a monthly service fee. If the account balance falls below $2,500, it will convert to a standard savings account and earn a much lower rate. The credit union doesn’t offer check writing with its money market accounts.

Review methodology

With so many financial institutions to choose from, it can be hard to know who to trust. Bankrate’s ever-growing list of bank and credit union reviews is updated regularly. Our editorial team analyzes and reviews each institution across deposit products such as savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs) and money market accounts (MMAs). Banks are rated by important factors such as offered interest rates, fees, minimum balance requirements, access to funds and more.

We assign a score to each type of account and its features, weigh them carefully based on importance to account holders and determine an overall score. Read our full review methodology.

Bankrate methodology disclosure

In July 2024, Bankrate collaborated with a third-party vendor to survey 1,200 bank account holders nationwide. Bankrate and our vendor collected and summarized account holder responses to five rating questions on a 5-point scale as well as open-ended reviews of the banking experience. Responses are based on individual account holder product details, and therefore cannot be verified for accuracy. Reviewers received an incentive for their feedback. Their ratings are unedited and have not been reviewed or approved by the associated bank or credit union, nor do these responses reflect Bankrate's own expert review of these banking products.
