Banks are offering competitive money market account rates as the Federal Reserve has cut interest rates. National average rates are at 0.59%, but top high-yield accounts offer over 4% APY. Online banks and credit unions have competitive offers, so be sure to compare before opening an account. Money market accounts are great for short-term savings goals, are low-risk, and FDIC-insured up to $250,000. Consider minimum balance requirements and transaction limits. If you want to earn a higher return, consider investing in market securities like stocks or mutual funds, which average about 10% return. Speak with a financial advisor or consider a robo-advisor for help.
