Make money on your money with a certificate of deposit

MMAs (no, the other kind)

Money market accounts help you get higher rates on your savings — all while still keeping your money easily accessible. Federally insured by NCUA up to $250,000.

Quick access

Unlike CDs, you'll have easy access to your money, similar to a savings account. 

Higher interest rates

Get interest rates comparable to certificates of deposit — the greater your account balance, the more you'll earn.

Kids savings: start 'em while they're young

They might be little now, but someday they'll be flying the nest. College. World travels. Maybe even space travel. Either way, you can start saving money gradually over time to prepare for their future and get a debit card for a kid at any age too.
