Money Market Account
a savings account offered by banks and credit unions and is similar to
a regular savings accounts.
The difference is that these accounts usually pay higher interest, have
higher minimum balance requirements, such as $1000 to $2500, and
allow only three to six withdrawals per month.
Similar to a checking account, many money market accounts allow writing
up to three checks each month.
The 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, which is very rare, the money in the account is still
protected.
The FDIC is an independent agency of the federal government that was created in
1933 because thousands of banks had failed in the 1920s and early 1930s.
Not a single person has lost money in a bank or credit union that was
insured by the FDIC since it began.
If the money market account is obtained from a credit union, it is insured
by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), a federal agency.
Certificate of Deposit
a deposit held for a certain period of time and is a financial
product commonly offered to consumers by banks, thrift
institutions, and credit unions.
CDs are similar to savings accounts in that they are insured and
thus virtually risk-free. CDs from a bank are insured by the FDIC.
CDs purchased from a credit union are insured by the NCUA.
CDs differ from savings accounts in that the CD has a specific
fixed term of three months, six months, or one to five years, and
usually a fixed interest rate.
It is intended that the CD be held until maturity, at which time the
money may be withdrawn together with the accrued interest.
