Looking for high-interest rates on your savings? Money market accounts offer better returns than traditional savings accounts, with some still paying over 4% APY. Rates have fluctuated due to economic changes, but online banks and credit unions typically offer the best rates. Compare minimum balances, fees, and FDIC or NCUA insurance before choosing an account.

The national average interest rate for money market accounts is 0.59%, but top rates can reach 4-4.5% APY. Depositing $50,000 in a 4.5% APY account for a year could earn you $2,303 in interest. While no MMAs offer 5% APY, some high-yield savings accounts do. Check with online banks or local institutions for competitive rates.
