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.
