Which RCU money market account is right for me?

Redwood Credit Union offers three money market options: Money Market Growth, Performance Money Market, and Premier Money Market. The best fit depends on how much money you have available to deposit and whether you can meet the relationship requirements.

Which money market could help me earn the most?

Answer: If your main goal is maximizing earnings, the Premier Money Market may be the best choice if you can meet the higher initial deposit and qualification requirements. If you want a lower opening balance and simpler requirements, the Money Market Growth account may be a better fit.

1. APY: The Premier Money Market has the highest APY,¹ followed by the Performance Money Market, and then the Money Market Growth.
2. Opening balance: The Premier Money Market requires $2,500 to open and earn dividends, while the Performance Money Market and Money Market Growth accounts both require only $100 to open.
3. Qualifications: The Premier and Performance accounts require more account activity and deeper relationships with RCU. Read below for more details.

How do I qualify for the Performance Money Market and Premier Money Market accounts?

Answer: The Performance and Premier Money Market accounts both require an active RCU checking account and one additional "qualifying relationship," but the Premier Money Market has additional relationship criteria. Performance and Premier Money Market accounts also have different minimum balance requirements.

1. The Performance Money Market requires you to have a minimum balance of $100 to open the account and earn dividends, an active RCU checking account (with at least 3 transactions per month, not including 24-Hour Telephone Teller, fee, or dividend posting transactions), and one additional qualifying relationship (see below).
2. The Premier Money Market requires you to have a minimum balance of $2,500 to open the account and earn dividends, an active RCU checking account (with at least 3 transactions per month, not including 24-Hour Telephone Teller, fee, or dividend posting transactions), an active RCU credit card (with at least 10 monthly transactions or $500 or more in advances), and one additional qualifying relationship (see below).
3. The qualifying relationship can be a monthly digital deposit of $500 or more, an active RCU loan, $5,000 or more invested with Redwood Wealth Management² or an active property and casualty insurance policy.³ A digital deposit is a deposit made via ACH, mobile deposit, ATM, or wire to your RCU account.

Do RCU money market accounts have fees or transaction limits?

Answer: No. RCU money market accounts have no transaction, monthly, or minimum balance fees. That means more of your money is available for earning dividends if minimum balance requirements to earn the advertised dividend rate are met. And there are no penalties or restrictions on accessing your funds. You have access to your money whenever you need it.

Key features

1. No fees so you keep more of what you earn in interest
2. Unlimited access to your money money whenever you need cash
