FROM OUR PARTNERS
Whether you need to save towards a short-term goal or build an emergency fund, a money market account can help. It can grow your funds faster as it offers a high-interest rate.
The dozens of banks in Alaska offer a wide range of money market accounts. Whether you prefer online to a traditional brick-and-mortar account, you can find one best suited for your needs.
With such a wide variety to choose from, first, consider the annual average yield (APY). You want your money to do more for you. A high-interest rate will maximize the return from every dollar you invest. The account fees are something else to consider. A money market account that offers a high-interest rate but has high service charges will reduce your earning value.
Other factors to consider are the minimum requirements, ease of access, and any additional features you deem important. Shop around to compare the available options before making a decision.
