Money Market vs. Share Savings: What’s the Best Fit for Your Goals?

Both accounts help you grow your savings in a safe, secure way, but they’re built for different stages of your financial journey. A Share Savings account is the foundation of your membership and is ideal for everyday savings. A Money Market Account is designed to help your balance grow faster, with higher earning potential and added flexibility.

Here’s how they compare:

Feature Money Market Account Share Savings Account
Earning Potential Higher, with tiered dividend rates that increase as your balance grows Lower, steady dividends based on average daily balance
How You Earn Dividends compounded daily and paid monthly Dividends paid quarterly
Access to Funds 24/7 access via online banking, mobile app, ATMs, transfers, and shared branches 24/7 access via online banking, mobile app, ATMs, transfers, and shared branches
Minimum to Open No minimum deposit to open $5 deposit to establish membership
Balance Considerations Balances under $2,500 may have a monthly fee; higher balances unlock better rates $5 maintained as your share; avoidable $5 monthly fee based on account activity/criteria
Extra Benefits Can be used for overdraft protection; designed for higher balances and growth Establishes membership; eligible for all credit union services; can be used for overdraft protection
Best For Earning more on larger balances while keeping funds accessible Everyday saving, building habits, and getting started
Security Federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration Federally insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration

Money Market Account FAQ

  • How much will $10,000 make in a money market account?

    It depends on how long you plan to keep the money invested and what interest rate you are able to earn. For example, for a rate of 1.35% Annual Percentage Yield (APY), a $10,000 deposit would earn: 

    • $1,436 over 10 years
    • $3,076 over 20 years
    • $4,950 over 30 years

    Take into account that money market accounts typically offer tiered rates, so if you make additional deposits and hit a higher tier, you’ll earn a higher rate on your money, helping you grow it faster.

  • How do credit union money market accounts work?

    Credit Union Money Market Accounts allow you to earn more money in dividend payments by offering progressively higher rates for amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and $99,999. Only the portion above the threshold earns the higher dividend rates. Because credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives owned by and run on behalf of their members, dividend rates are higher on average than those offered by commercial bank accounts.

  • What do you need to open a money market account?

    In order to open a Listerhill Credit Union Money Market Account, you need to be a member of Listerhill Credit Union. You’ll also need:

    • Proof of identity, such as drivers license, state ID card, or passport
    • An opening deposit of at least $15 to cover the low balance fee
  • Where is the best place to open a money market account?

    Credit unions offer more generous dividends on average than other banking institutions, as well as fewer fees and charges. Credit Unions also offer more personal service to help you set up and manage your money market account.

  • How does a tiered dividend rate structure work?

    Money market accounts typically offer tiered dividend rate structures. That means account balances above certain thresholds earn a higher rate. For example, Listerhill  Credit Union offers progressively higher APYs on amounts above $9,999, $49,999, and 99,999. It’s important to realize that only the portion of your deposit above this threshold will earn the higher rate, while the amount below will continue to earn dividends at the lower rate.

  • Do you need to be a Listerhill Credit Union member to apply for a Money Market Account?

    Yes, you do need to be a Listerhill Credit Union member to apply for a Money Market Account. To qualify for membership with Listerhill, you must meet one of the following requirements:

    • You must live in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, or Tennessee.
    • Depending on your individual eligibility requirements, we may require membership in an approved association at no cost to you.
    • You can also qualify for membership by being a family member of a current or potential Listerhill member.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is it important to set up a travel notification before traveling?

    Setting up a travel notification tells Listerhill that you will be using your card overseas or in a different state. By informing us ahead of time, you’ll make sure that legitimate transactions using your credit or debit card are not blocked, so you’ll always have access to your money. 

  • Why should I sign up for eStatements over traditional paper statements?

    Unlike regular paper statements, eStatements are available instantly. There’s no chance they will get lost in the mail, and you do not need to worry about misplacing them — they’re always available online. They’re also searchable, which makes it easier to find specific transactions. In addition, eStatements save paper, making them more cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

  • Is it possible to set up card alerts and notifications using Online or Mobile Banking?

    No, while you can track card activity using Online and Mobile Banking, you currently need to use the LCU Card App to set up card alerts and notifications. This functionality will be coming soon to Listerhill’s Online and Mobile Banking services.

  • Can the LCU Card App be used for both credit cards and debit cards?

    Yes, the LCU Card App is designed to allow you to monitor and manage multiple cards, including both credit and debit cards.

  • What is the difference between Listerhill Online and Mobile Banking, and the LCU Card App?

    Listerhill Online and Mobile Banking lets you access information about your card balances and transactions (once you have added your card details). The LCU Card App also lets you track card spending, but also allows you to add notifications and alerts, enable transaction alerts, view recent and pending transactions, and instantly lock or unlock cards.
