What is a High-Yield Money Market Account? A money market account is a unique savings account that offers a higher yield than traditional savings accounts, making it a smart choice for those looking to grow their savings.

How the Blended Rate Structure Works
Our High-Yield Money Market Account uses a blended-rate structure, which means your balance earns different rates at different levels. As your balance grows, each portion earns a higher rate—so you get rewarded more without losing out on the lower-tier earnings.
Each portion of your balance earns the rate assigned to that tier. Your blended APY is a weighted average based on how much you have in each tier.
This approach helps maximize your earnings as your balance grows.
EXAMPLE: If you deposit $150,000
- First $49,999 earns 1.49%
- Next $50,000 (from $50,000 to $99,999) earns 1.98%
- Remaining $50,001 (from $100,000 to $150,000) earns 2.47%
Deposit Tier | Rate | APY* | Portion of Balance Earning This Rate |
---|---|---|---|
up to $49,999 | 1.49% | 1.50% | Entire balance in this range ($2,500 min. daily balance to earn stated APY) |
$50,000 to $99,999 | 1.98% | 2.00% | Only the portion between $50,000–$99,999 |
$100,000 to $249,999 | 2.47% | 2.50% | Only the portion between $100,000–$249,999 |
$250,000 and greater | 2.96% | 3.00% | Only the portion above $250,000 |
*APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APY is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of interest paid on an account based on the interest rate and frequency of compounding over a year. For this account, the interest rate and APY may change at any time as determined by the Credit Union. The stated APY is a blended rate based on the portion of the balance within each tier. Actual APY may vary depending on the total balance in the account. If the $2,500 minimum daily balance is not met, you may not earn the stated APY. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest, applying a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day. Rates and offers are current as of September 14, 2023, and are subject to change without notice. $2,500 minimum to open. Membership eligibility is required. All deposits are federally insured by NCUA up to $250,000 per depositor.

This calculator is for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect your specific situation. Interest estimates are based on an APY rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percentage point (e.g., 0.01%), while actual calculations may use a finer rounding (e.g., 0.011%), leading to possible variations. Assumptions include principal and interest remaining on deposit and unchanged interest rates. ‘Total Savings’ represents the initial deposit plus estimated interest. Rates and terms may change, and actual returns can vary. Consult a WEOKIE professional for personalized details.
