Frequently asked questions
What is a money market? This account is a high-yield checking account that acts like a savings account. You can earn premium interest while enjoying the flexibility to access your funds via your Union Bank debit card, account-to-account transfers, or through Zelle®. See more here.
What are the benefits of a money market? You can get a high rate while having access to your money without locking away your funds. When you need spending flexibility but are focused primarily on savings, a money market account can give you some benefits of both savings and checking accounts.
What’s the difference between a money market and a traditional savings account? You can earn interest on both savings accounts and money markets, but this Direct Money Market account offers you a debit card for easy account access as well as unlimited transactions and no withdrawal fees. Money markets offer more flexibility and usually come with a higher rate than most savings products.
How many transactions can I do a month? Unlimited. While other banks may charge fees for excess withdrawals, we do not.
What is APY? APY stands for annual percentage yield, which is the total interest earned in one year, including compound interest. Higher APY = more earnings!
How often is interest paid on this account? Interest compounds daily and is credited monthly — meaning the longer you leave your money in the account, the more that interest will compound, so there is a lot of earning potential.
*The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 9/24/2024. Rates subject to change at any time.
