Money Market Accounts
Maximize your savings
Money Markets frequently pay higher dividend rates while requiring a higher minimum balance. At RBFCU, we offer two Money Market options.
RBFCU Classic Money Market
With our RBFCU Classic Money Market, members earn a flat dividend rate on their total balance.
Benefits and features:
- $2,500 minimum deposit to open account and earn stated Annual Percentage Yield (APY)
- Competitive dividends compounded and paid monthly
- No monthly service fees
- If your balance falls below $2,500, the account will automatically revert to the savings account rate at that time, by the end of the business day. When your balance is brought back up to $2,500, you will earn the RBFCU Classic Money Market rate again.*
RBFCU Choice Money Market
More money, why not? It’s an easy choice. With higher rates available on a lower balance, the RBFCU Choice Money Market helps you earn more on less money. As your balance grows, take advantage of blended rates to maximize your savings.
Benefits and features:
- $2,500 minimum deposit to open account and earn stated APY
- Competitive dividends compounded and paid monthly
- No monthly service fees
- Blended rate structure, resulting in higher earnings on balances from $2,500 up to $10,000, when the minimum balance is maintained. As your balance increases, previous rates are incorporated into your overall earnings.
- If your balance falls below $2,500, the account will automatically revert to the savings account rate at that time, by the end of the business day. When your balance is brought back up to $2,500, you will earn the RBFCU Choice Money Market rate again.*

I already have an RBFCU Classic Money Market. Can I switch it to an RBFCU Choice Money Market?
Yes. You may close your Classic Money Market account and open a Choice Money Market account. However, only one Choice Money Market is available per tax-reported owner. There is not a limit to the number of Classic Money Market accounts you can own. This account will not be available to businesses (EINs).

What happens if my Money Market balance falls below $2,500?
You do not have to close your Money Market account; however, if your balance falls below $2,500, the account will automatically revert to the savings account rate at that time, by the end of the business day. The account name will remain an “RBFCU Money Market.”
If a transaction, payment or transfer presented electronically or over the phone to an external merchant causes your Available Balance to fall below the minimum requirement of $2500, the transaction will be rejected and returned unpaid.
