Money market accounts are among the most popular choices for any
investor. You’ll earn interest based on your balance and your funds are
liquid so you can withdraw them at anytime without penalties.* Select
from one of our five money market accounts—the more you invest, the
higher interest rate you earn.**
Flexible Money Market Account
The five-tiered, Flexible money market account is ideal for those who
like earning the best money market rate possible without having to
manage the account. Each day, you will earn dividends at the highest
possible rate for your balance.
Self-managed Money Market Accounts
Members who prefer to self-manage the movement of their money market
funds among our Sterling, Premiere, Premiere Plus, and Jumbo accounts
will earn our highest money market rates.*** To qualify for the Jumbo
account, a TCU checking account is required with a Direct Deposit of at
least $500 each month. Without a checking account and $500 monthly
Direct Deposit, the account earns 50 less basis points. A balance that
falls below the minimum requirement to earn any stated rate earns a rate
of 1% APY.

*Unlimited withdrawals refer to in-person
transactions only. Federal regulations limit the number of
withdrawals or pre-authorized, automatic transfers made to third
parties, other TCU accounts, or telephone orders to cover overdrafts
on your checking account to no more than six transactions per month.
No more than three of these six transactions may be made by check,
draft, or similar order to a third party. If these limits are
exceeded in any given month, your account will be subject to an
Excessive Transaction Fee of $15. Excessive, continuous violation of
the transaction limits will close the money market account and the
funds will be transferred to an account that allows more
transactions.
** We offer five money market account options:
Flexible, Sterling, Premiere, Premiere Plus, and Jumbo. Each account has
specific minimum balance requirements to open and to earn the posted
dividend rate. Each day, funds in the Flexible money market account will
earn dividends based on your balance. A Flexible money market account
balance of less than $100 for more than 90 days will close the account
and the funds will be placed in the account holder’s Primary Share
account.
*** With all TCU money market products except the
Flexible account, the credit union will not automatically adjust your
dividend rate. You must make a request and initiate the change with the
credit union. Upon receipt of your signed request, your account will be
converted. Higher dividend rates and balance requirements are not
retroactive, but are effective from the date of conversion.
