Let's first review what is a Money Market Account.

A money market account is a type of savings account offered by banks and credit unions just like regular savings accounts. 

The difference is that they usually pay higher interest, have higher minimum balance requirements (sometimes $1000-$­2500), and only allow three to six withdrawals per month. 

Another difference is that, similar to a checking account, many money market accounts will let you write up to three to six checks each month.

With bank accounts, the money in a money market account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which means that even if the bank or credit union goes out of business, your money will still be there.

Now that you understand what a Money Market Account is defined as, your next step is to determine your needs, your goals, your projections overall.

It was be advisable to speak with a professional and review your overall options.
