Select Money Market

⭐Perfect for a wealth-building strategy

Earn a higher interest rate on your balance to make your money work harder for you.

  • Minimum to open: $10,000
  • $10 monthly fee is waived if daily balance is at least $10,000

Savings accounts can do more than store money for special purchases — they’re part of a wealth-building strategy. The Select Money Market account is a step in that direction. When you’re able to save at least $10,000, this may be your best choice.

Unlike a basic savings account, a money market account offers the best of both worlds: higher interest rates and easy access to your money. You earn a more competitive interest rate compared to a regular savings account, meaning your savings works harder for you.

Whether you’re saving for a dream vacation, a down payment on a home, or simply building a rainy-day fund, a Select Money Market account is a trusted tool in building a more financially secure future.
