National Average Money Market Account Rate

Primary source

All values come directly from FDIC National Rates and Rate Caps. We do not modify, smooth, or interpolate published values.

The FDIC National Rate Cap for money market accounts — weighted average APY across US insured institutions. Published weekly. MMAs typically offer slightly higher rates than standard savings accounts with limited check-writing privileges.

Update schedule

Weekly — we refresh daily; upstream source publishes once per week (check Next Update below).

We gate dateModified updates to actual value changes (threshold: 0.01% absolute or 0.5% relative) to prevent freshness spoofing. If the upstream value hasn't moved, we don't claim we updated the page.
