Savings Account & Money Market Account Benefits for Younger Customers
It’s never too early to start saving! Teach healthy financial habits by opening a Savings Account or Money Market Account for a child or teenager. If you have a child aged 0-12, ask us about our Peoples Little Perks program!
As a service to our younger customers, we waive the minimum balance fee on our Savings Account and Money Market Account for anyone under the age of 21. At Peoples Bank, we make sure that nothing stands in the way of creating a habit of saving while you’re young.
What is a Money Market Account?
Money Market Accounts offer more liquidity than other high-interest accounts and provide low risk, a higher interest return, and FDIC coverage. At Peoples Bank, our Money Market Account features tiered-interest rates. When you invest more money in your account, you receive a higher rate of interest.
How is a Money Market Account different from a Savings Account or a CD?
Money Market Accounts earn a higher rate of interest than normal savings accounts, and the interest is compounded daily. Both Money Market Accounts and Savings Accounts are FDIC-insured, low-risk accounts. Certificates of Deposit (CDs) offer a high interest rate but lock your funds in for a specified amount of time. You can withdraw money from your Money Market Account without a penalty and will incur fees for early withdrawals from a CD.
How do I know if a Money Market Account is right for me?
If you have enough to meet the opening deposit of $25 and want to maintain access to your funds while earning interest, a Money Market Account at Peoples Bank may be the right account for you. With a Money Market Account, you’ll earn higher interest rates than a Savings Account while still benefiting from unlimited in person transfers and withdrawals.
What is the best way to use a Money Market Account?
Money Market Accounts are best used for emergency funds or as a holding account for recurring tax or tuitions payments. For funds you need to access occasionally, a Money Market Account is a great way to store and grow your money.
