Money Market Accounts Worth Considering in 2026

A middle ground between checking and savings — with check-writing privileges and competitive yields.

Top picks

  • Quontic Bank Money Market — 5.00% APY, $100 minimum, debit card and checks.
  • Vio Bank Cornerstone Money Market — 5.30% APY, $100 minimum.
  • Sallie Mae Money Market — 4.85% APY, no minimum, check writing.
  • CFG Bank High Yield Money Market — 5.25% APY, $1,000 to open.

Bottom line

For most households, an HYSA is simpler and good enough. But if you write checks to contractors, the IRS, or charities, a money market account at 5%+ makes sense.
