Money Market Account FAQs 

It’s a savings account that combines features of both savings and checking accounts. Like savings accounts, money market accounts pay interest, although at a generally higher rate than a savings account. Interest on money market accounts is typically tiered, which means the rate increases when the balance reaches specific amounts.

 

Like checking accounts, money markets allow check writing and usually come with a debit card.

With a Flagstar Money Market account, there is a $2,500 minimum deposit to earn interest. After you reach or surpass that amount, your account will earn interest that is compounded based on the deposit agreement. We offer tiered interest rates up to $10 million.

Yes! Flagstar is an FDIC-insured bank, which means customer deposits, including deposits in money market savings accounts, are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor for each deposit category.

There are several ways to make a deposit into your money market account:

  • Deposit a check through our mobile app, Flagstar Mobile Banking.
  • Visit or use the ATM at a Flagstar branch.
  • Transfer funds through online banking or by calling 888-248-6423.
  • Set up direct deposit with your employer, Social Security, or other regular income.
  • Request a one-time electronic debit from your account at another financial institution to your Flagstar account.
  • Complete a wire transfer.
  • Send a check to the following address: 

                    102 Duffy Ave.

                    Hicksville, NY 11801

                    Attn: Bank by Mail

Money market accounts typically pay higher interest rates than savings accounts and usually require a higher minimum balance.

 

Unlike savings accounts, money market accounts usually offer check writing and debit cards.

Yes. Interest on money market accounts, as well as regular savings accounts, is taxable as earned income.

That depends on several things, but here is some general advice:

  • If you’d like to set aside a lump sum, and you don’t plan to touch it for a certain number of months or years, a CD would likely be your best bet.
  • If you want an account that lets you make deposits and withdrawals, you’re probably better off with a money market .
  • Money markets give you more flexibility, but CDs typically offer higher rates. Before opening either type of account, check the current rates.
