Leave Money In Blended Rate Account Or Withdraw

What is a money market account?

Like a savings account, a money market account is designed to help you save and earn higher interest. Money market accounts are especially good for building up your emergency savings and are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) just like our other savings accounts.

One of the biggest benefits of a money market account over a savings account is that the interest rates are usually far superior. And at Patelco, we've got one of the highest rates around. In fact because of our high interest rates, Patelco's money market account has been named The Best Money Market Account in 2021 byInvestopedia. ²

At many banks, only accounts with very high balances can enjoy higher savings rates. But at Patelco, the first $2,000 deposited into our Money Market Select Account earns the highest interest rate. We care about every member's financial well-being and are committed to helping and encouraging our savers to build good savings habits.

Check out the chart below to see how much you could earn.

APY=Annual Percentage Yield. Rates are valid as of 11/19/2021 and are subject to change after account opening without notice. Interest is paid at tier rates on balances within each tier. Total interest paid is the sum from each tier. Blended APY shown assumes the amount entered is held in the account for one year. Withdrawing funds before one year will result in a different realized rate. No minimum deposit required to open an account. Limit one Money Market Select Account and one Money Market Select IRA Account per account number.
