Best Money Market Accounts in Hawaii of April 2024

Mary Gilman

There are dozens of banks in Hawaii offering a wide range of money market accounts. These accounts can be a smart choice if you want to build your savings and maintain easy access when you need it.

When choosing a money market account, consider the rate of return. The higher the rate, the higher you are earning per dollar saved. Apart from the interest rate, also consider the minimum requirements. For example, most accounts with a higher interest rate come with high minimum opening deposits with a limited number of withdrawals within a specific period.

Some accounts may require you to write drafts to access funds or have other restrictions regarding ease of access. If you are saving towards an emergency fund, you may require unlimited access to the funds if an unexpected expense occurs. We suggest you find an account that offers ATM, online, or mobile access.

Shop around, compare the interest rates, account fees, minimum requirements, ease of access, and whether it’s FDIC-insured. The best accounts offer a combination of these features.
