Money Market

Higher earnings without locking your money away.

What is a money market account? It's a savings account that pays higher, tiered dividend rates as your balance grows, while still letting you access your funds. NCACU money market accounts are a great fit for an emergency fund or short-term savings you may need to reach.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A money market account keeps your funds accessible and pays a variable rate, while a certificate (CD) locks your money for a fixed term in exchange for a guaranteed rate.

    Money market accounts use balance tiers, so higher balances can earn higher rates. Ask a banker for the current tiers and rates.
