money market account

Interest-bearing bank deposit

A money market account is a type of savings account that typically offers higher interest rates in exchange for higher minimum balances.

Unlike regular savings accounts, money market accounts often allow limited check-writing and debit card access: I keep my emergency fund in a money market account.

They're insured by the FDIC like other bank deposits.
