What are the benefits of a money market account with Axos Bank?

With Axos Bank High Yield Money Market account account, you won’t have to worry about monthly fees. It also free ATM card and check-writing privileges, like most other money market accounts.

Other benefits to expect:

• No monthly maintenance fees. There is no monthly fee, so you won’t have to worry about meeting strict requirements to avoid it.
• Decent interest. You’ll earn a respectable rate at 0.25% APY. That’s above the national average but not competitive compared to other money market accounts.
• Non-tiered rate. Your APY is 0.25% whether you have $1 or $100,000 in your account, which means that you don’t have to keep a high balance to get the best rate Axos’ offers.
• Debit card locking. Control when you use your debit card by locking or unlocking it via your online account. That way you can focus on saving or having access to funds, whichever suits your current situation.

How much interest you can earn

Get an idea of how much interest you can earn with this money market account. You’ll earn more than usual for a savings account, but not as much as other high-yield accounts available.

What should I look out for?

You’ll want to keep track of your balance when using your money as well as double-check that an ATM is in network with this account.

• No ATM fee reimbursement. This account comes with a free ATM card that you can use at any of the 91,000 ATMs, but you won’t get any reimbursements for using out-of-network domestic ATMs — a perk offered to other Axos accounts.
• No overdraft protection. Most Axos accounts offer overdraft protection, but this account requires you to pay $25 per item and up to $75 a day if you have insufficient funds.
• Closing requirement. If your account has no funds at the end of the monthly statement cycle, you forfeit any accrued interest for that cycle and Axos can close your account.

If you’re looking for savings products with more perks and competitive rates, you could go for the Axos Bank High Yield Savings account with 0.61% APY and a debit card available upon request.

Outside of Axos Bank’s products, you might also try the Quontic Bank Money Market account with 1.5% APY and no monthly maintenance or overdraft fees, or the Quontic Bank High Yield Savings account with one of the highest APYs available at 1.25%.
