No fixed term or maturity limitations. Your funds can be transferred online, withdrawn through ATMs, or use your account as an optional overdraft protection resource.

  • Minimum opening balance just $5*

  • No monthly service fee

  • Easily withdraw and deposit funds

  • Great rates – highest dividends paid on your first $2,500

4 Reasons To Open A Money Market Account

Money Market accounts offer a rate of return that surpasses your typical savings account. Our Money Market Savings accounts offer the highest dividends paid on your first $2,500.

Give your money its best chance to grow!

Funds in your Money Market are insured by the NCUA up to $250,000. This means you can keep a large sum of money in your account without the risk of losing it to a market crash or a poor choice of investment.

Money Market accounts have no maturity date. You are free to access the funds in your account at any time without penalty. 

Because of their accessibility, Money Market accounts are perfect for those large, occasional expenses like tuition payments, emergency household repairs, and unexpected medical fees.

Like every account here at Bay Federal Credit Union, your Money Market Savings account comes with loads of benefits and attractive features. There is no monthly maintenance charge for your Money Market account, and we won’t charge you a fee for accessing your money from a Bay Federal or CO-OP ATM.
