    Your FAQs About Money Market Accounts

    A money market account (MMA) is an interest-bearing savings account offering a higher interest rate than traditional savings accounts. Typically, they also have higher minimum balance requirements and at least a few checking account capabilities.

    Relationship Money market accounts work as savings accounts but allow customers to earn high interest, depending on their deposit amounts based on having a prior or another relationship with the bank. Typically, the more funds a customer adds to their account, the higher their interest percentage, which usually starts at 0.01%. At Amerant you also have additional benefits such as an ATM card and a checkbook to write checks against an available balance.

    To earn interest, a minimum balance of $100 must be kept in addition to having a Relationship Interest Checking account. Fees on either the Relationship Money Market or the Relationship Interest Checking account may reduce overall balance and interest earned.

    1 At our discretion, we may change the interest rate and the annual percentage yield on the account at any time. Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (E.g., checks). If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest. We use the daily balance method to calculate interest on the account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

    2 For additional fees, please refer to our Miscellaneous Service Fees Schedule.

    3 You may make no more than six preauthorized withdrawals, preauthorized transfers for overdraft protection, automatic or telephone transfers, checks, drafts, and debit card or other similar transactions from your account per statement cycle.

    To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

    What does this mean for you? When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
