The Money Management Checking Account (MMCA) was designed for those members looking for the convenience of a checking account combined with the benefits of a higher yield. With the MMCA, your checking funds work harder for you all year long. If you typically maintain a minimum balance of $2,500 or more in your checking account1, switching to our MMCA is a smart move.

The annual percentage yield is a percentage rate that reflects the total amount of dividends to be paid on an account based on the dividend rate and frequency of compounding for an annual period. For Checking, Money Management Checking and Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield may change at any time as determined by the Credit Union’s Board of Directors. The dividend rates and annual percentage yields are the prospective rates and yields that the Credit Union anticipates paying for the applicable dividend period. Money Management Checking, and Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts are tiered rate accounts. The balance ranges and corresponding dividend rates and annual percentage yields applicable to each tier are disclosed in the Rate Schedule. For Money Management Checking accounts, once a particular range is met, the dividend rate and annual percentage yield for that balance range will apply to the full balance of your account. For Global Rewards Premier Checking accounts, the applicable dividend rates and annual percentage yields will apply only to that portion of the account balance within the corresponding balance range as listed in the Rate Schedule. Refer to the Truth in Savings Disclosure for additional details pertaining to these tiered accounts.
