Best Money Market Accounts in Vermont of April 2024

Mary Gilman

If you are looking for a place to keep your money while earning interest, a money market account can be a great option.

Vermont has dozens of online and traditional brick-and-mortar banks offering a wide variety of money market accounts to its residents. Choosing an account can be a fairly challenging and time-consuming task, given there is such a wide selection to narrow down to your specific needs.

When deciding on an account, look out for a high annual percentage yield (APY). The higher the APY, the better the monetary results. Also, be aware of account fees and minimums. Some money market accounts require a minimum initial deposit to open an account. There may also be a minimum balance you need to maintain to avoid monthly account charges. Seek an account with a high APY and low minimum requirements.

Other factors to consider are ease of access, FDIC insurance, and transaction limits. Some money market accounts are subject to restrictions on the number of withdrawals within a given period. Make sure you are aware of such restrictions before deciding on an account.
