A money market account is a type of savings deposit account that tends to offer check-writing privileges and a debit card for ATM access to your savings. Typically, savings accounts usually don’t let you write checks from the account, making money market accounts a unique option to store and tap your money when you need it. The average money market account yield is 0.46 percent annual percentage yield (APY) as of the week of April 7, 2025.

It's not too surprising that there have been some CD annual percentage yield (APY) decreases recently. But while Barclays decreasing its 18-month CD 125 basis points might catch your eye, only three of the top 12, 18-month CDs have a lower APY today compared with July 29.
