I had a great experience. I wanted to open a savings account but did not have a large lump sum to start with. The staff were extremely helpful in figuring out with savings account would be best for me!

Money Market FAQs

  • Choosing the right account depends on your balance and how you plan to use your funds:

    Tiered Money Market: Best for members with larger balances who want to maximize earnings. This account features tiered interest rates, meaning the more you save, the higher the APY you earn on your entire balance.

    Standard Money Market: Ideal for members who want a higher yield than a regular savings account but prefer a lower entry point, with no minimum balance requirements and a competitive flat rate.

    Business Money Market: Designed for local businesses to earn more on operational cash flow.

  • A Central One Money Market account offers a middle ground between a standard savings account and a long-term certificate:

    • Money Market accounts typically offer higher dividend rates than our Regular Share savings accounts.
    • Unlike a Certificate (CD), your funds are not locked. You maintain liquidity with the ability to make withdrawals and unlimited deposits at any time.
    • Your funds are federally insured, providing a risk-free way to grow your money compared to market investments.
    • Our Money Market accounts have no monthly service charges, allowing your savings to grow without being chipped away by fees.
  • Yes. One of the primary benefits of a Money Market account is liquidity. Unlike a Certificate (CD), where your money is locked for a set term, a Money Market account allows you to withdraw or transfer funds at any time. While we encourage keeping funds in the account to maximize your monthly dividends, you have the flexibility to access your cash whenever an unexpected need arises.

  • Yes. Your deposits are safe and secure. Central One Federal Credit Union is federally insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). This means your Money Market funds are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor. This makes a Money Market account a low-risk, high-yield alternative to more volatile market investments.

  • Dividends are calculated based on your daily balance and are compounded and credited to your account quarterly. This means every day your money is in the account, it is working for you. For our Tiered Money Market accounts, your earnings are automatically optimized, as your daily balance reaches a new tier, you immediately begin earning the higher rate associated with that level.
