Overview
How it works
A money market account at AFFCU earns higher dividends than that of a basic savings account, and allows you to access your cash when you need it most. The larger the deposit, the higher the interest rate in exchange. For AFFCU money market accounts, you’ll need to deposit at least $2,500 in order to earn the higher rate.
You can make an unlimited number of deposits on the account. You can also make up to 6 withdrawals and transfers each month so you can access your cash when you need it, and still have the opportunity to keep earning more on your savings.
* APY = Annual Percentage Yield as of December 1, 2019
– Dividends Compounded: Monthly. Dividends Credited: Monthly. Balance Computation Method: Dividends are calculated using the daily balance method. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principle in the account each day. Limitations: Minimum $2,500.00 opening deposit required. Minimum $250 daily balance required to avoid $10.00 monthly service fee.
- Open your account with a minimum of $2,500
- Make unlimited deposits
- No monthly fee with minimum $250 balance
