Are you looking for a place to park your savings? Do you need an account that blends accessibility with a high rate of return?

Look no further! Ohio Catholic FCU Money Market accounts offer convenient features with an attractive rate of return to help your money grow. You’ll earn a handsome return on your money without the risk of the stock market or the restrictiveness of a Share Certificate account.

Most Money Market accounts have a minimum balance requirement. Here at Ohio Catholic Federal Credit Union, you can open a Money Market account with as little as $1,000. As long as you keep your balance from falling below $1,000, you can earn dividends (interest) on your deposits.

Here are 5 reasons to open a Money Market account:

1. Security – Funds in your Money Market are insured by the NCUA up to $250,000. This means you can keep a large sum of money in your account without the risk of losing it to a market crash or a poor choice of investment.

2. Accessibility – Money Market accounts have no maturity date. You are free to access the funds in your account at any time, typically without penalty. Because of their accessibility, Money Market accounts are perfect for those large, occasional expenses like tuition payments, emergency household repairs and unexpected medical fees.

3. High interest rates – Money Market accounts offer a rate of return that surpasses your typical savings account. As of the date of this article, an Ohio Catholic FCU Money Market account is as high as 0.25% APY*.
