MONEY MARKETS
Earn Interest With Flexibility
Money market accounts are a great way to earn a little extra interest on that money you’re saving for something down the road, like a family vacation, wedding, or mortgage down payment. One advantage of a money market account is after you make your initial deposit you still have access to the funds, unlike a CD.
