When it comes to saving money, choosing the right account is essential. Two popular options to consider are Money Market accounts and Certificate of Deposits (CDs). While both offer interest on savings, they have unique features that make one better suited to your needs.
Money Market
A Money Market account is similar to a checking account but with restrictions on the number of transactions you can make. It's ideal for those who want easy access to their funds and interest on their savings. Unlike CDs, Money Market accounts have no fixed term and offer flexibility, but the interest rate can fluctuate at any time without notice.
Certificate of Deposits
On the other hand, CDs are time deposits with fixed terms, ranging from 30 days to 60 months or more. They usually offer higher interest rates than Money Market accounts, but withdrawing funds early may result in penalties. CDs are best for long-term savings goals, as they require a commitment of funds for a specific period.
