Money market accounts (MMAs) offer high interest rates, liquidity, and flexibility compared to traditional savings accounts. National average interest rate is 0.39%, but the best MMAs can pay over 4% APY. Rates fluctuate due to changes in the federal funds rate. In 2024, rates were historically high, but have been trending downward since 2025. Compare accounts based on interest rates, minimum balance requirements, fees, and withdrawal limits. Insure your account with the FDIC or NCUA for up to $250,000.
