Frequently asked questions
What is a money market? A money market account is a high-yield checking account that acts like a savings account. You can earn premium interest while enjoying the flexibility to access your funds via your Union Bank debit card, account-to-account transfers, or through Zelle®.
What are the benefits of a money market? You can get a high rate while having access to your money without locking away your funds. When you need spending flexibility but are focused primarily on savings, a money market account can give you some benefits of both savings and checking accounts.
What’s the difference between a money market and a traditional savings account? You can earn interest on both savings accounts and money markets, but a Value Edge Money Market account offers you easy account access with up to six free withdrawals per calendar month ($25 fee for each additional). Money markets offer more flexibility and usually come with a higher rate than most savings products.
How many transactions can I do a month? You can make up to six free withdrawals per calendar month; after that, there is a $25 fee for each additional debit transaction.
What is APY? APY stands for annual percentage yield, which is the total interest earned in one year, including compound interest. Higher APY = more earnings!
