Best Money Market Accounts in Maine of December 2024

Mary Gilman

If you are looking for an account that lets you easily grow your money without uncertainty tied to it, consider a money market account. Banks in Maine have a wide range of money market account options available for its residents to choose from.

Money market accounts are available from both traditional and online banks. Online banks tend to offer higher interest rates because they have lower overhead costs than traditional banks. Apart from the high-interest rates, money market accounts offer you the flexibility to access your money when you need to. Most banks offer debit cards, check-writing capabilities, online or mobile access.

Another important feature to consider when choosing an account is the minimum requirements and transaction limits. Some accounts require high minimum initial deposits and high minimum balance requirements, which may not be ideal incase you go below the minimum requirement. Some banks also limit the number of withdrawals you can make on your account in a specific period. If you are saving towards an emergency fund, this may not be an ideal option for you.
