Who is the Quontic Bank Money Market best for?

If you’re in need of regular access to your savings, the Quontic Bank Money Market is worth considering. It’s got a great APY with no balance tiers to earn the high rate. You’ll also get a debit card and checkwriting privileges.

But if you want to avoid the temptation of dipping into your savings and don’t need a debit card, then a traditional savings account may be a better fit.

What we like about Quontic’s money market account

Earn 4.75% APY on your account balance, which is nearly nine times the national average for money market accounts (MMAs), which currently sits at 0.61%(1). Quontic’s APY compounds daily, and interest is credited every month at the end of your statement cycle.

Quontic’s MMA is a front-runner, even compared to other accounts with similar APYs. There are a few other top MMAs with slightly higher rates, but most of those don’t come with a debit card or offer checkwriting privileges.

Few fees

There are no monthly maintenance or overdraft fees. Many other money market accounts charge monthly maintenance fees of around $25 or more. You also won’t pay anything for money orders, statements, cashier’s checks or incoming domestic wire transfers.

Large ATM network

Quontic has a large free network of over 90,000 ATMs. You can use your debit card with no fees from Quontic at qualifying Allpoint, MoneyPass, SUM and Citibank ATMs. Quontic is also integrated with Zelle, so you can make peer-to-peer payments.

Where Quontic Bank Money Market falls short

This account is pretty straightforward and doesn’t have many downsides. However, you’ll need to make a $100 minimum opening deposit. Although $100 is pretty average comparatively, a good number of MMAs have low $1 opening deposit requirements.

Like most money market savings accounts, you’re limited to six withdrawals and transfers per month. And if you make a transaction outside that limit, you’ll pay a $10 fee for every transaction.

Also, Quontic Bank doesn’t have the largest customer service window we’ve seen, with support hours only on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Quontic Bank doesn’t have any physical branches, which is a common downside with online banks. But there are a few loan offices in Florida, Indiana and New York.
