How to know if a money market account is right for you
By Meggan Heacock | Senior vice president, finance
If you’ve been paying yourself first and growing your savings, congratulations!
Eventually, you might reach a point where a traditional savings account isn’t enough, because other avenues can help you save even more.
One saving strategy—a money market account. Knowing how Dupaco’s money market accounts work can help you decide whether it’s a good fit for you.
Earn even more with a money market account
The more you save, the more interest you earn compared to a traditional savings account. You typically start reaping the benefits of a money market account once you’ve saved at least $2,500.
Don’t have that much saved yet? You can get there by creating a Savings Goal within Shine Online or Mobile Banking.
Keep saving
Just like a regular savings account, you can make deposits any time in person, through payroll deduction or by account transfer.
Easy access to your money
Unlike a term-share certificate, you don’t have to commit to saving for a set period. If you have a certificate that’s about to end and don’t want to keep your funds locked up, this can be a great option.
You can withdraw money (a minimum of $250) any time.
Not penalized
You aren’t hit with fees if your balance decreases.
Money market accounts are for everyone
Our money market accounts are a member benefit—for both new and existing members. You don’t have to bring new money to the credit union to take advantage of our competitive, consistent rates.
Your money is protected
Your funds are federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration.
