What is a Money Market Account?

A money market account (MMA) is a type of financial account that combines features of both savings accounts and checking accounts. It is designed to provide our members with a relatively safe place to park their funds while earning a competitive interest rate.
 
Money market accounts are considered to be a low-risk investment option, making them suitable for those who want to earn interest on their savings without subjecting their funds to the volatility of the stock market.
