MarketplaceMoney Market Interest CalculatorPosted on May 31, 2010. Difference between a money market account and a savings account??? I noticed Discover offers a money market account at 3.14 apy You could win a little more with HSBC, but it could be a little more risk. Accounts FDIC insured? I think the money market accounts are like savings accounts, unless they come with restrictions on minimum, and perhaps some limits on what you can buy. In general, a money market account will offer interest rates higher than savings, but requires a higher minimum balance. Of course, each account varies from bank to bank. The best way to find out is to ask what are the differences. CommentsThere are no comments.Leave a Comment | Newest My Friends |
