Plus, our tiered rate offering means that the more you save, the more you can earn in dividends. You can see the tiers and associated rates here.
Whatever your financial goals are, a money market account can help you reach them. Some common uses include an emergency fund, saving for a home down payment or other large purchase, and planning for retirement.
There are no withdrawal or transfer restrictions, which means you can access your cash whenever you need it through our 24/7 digital banking channels.
Having extra cash set aside helps you avoid going into debt if unexpected expenses or emergencies occur.

Opening a money market account with PSECU is easy.
If you're already a member:
If you're not a member yet, you can add a money market account after you join PSECU.
To join PSECU and then add a money market account:
You must be a PESCU member to open a money market account with us. There are no minimum balance requirements to open a money market account; however, you'll only earn dividends if you meet the minimum balance requirement.
Our external account transfer service allows you to move money into your PSECU account from an account at another financial institution. There's a short verification process to set up transfer capabilities from an external account. Once that's completed, you can schedule an external account transfer into PSECU at any time using online banking or our mobile app.
If your daily account balance falls below $500, you won't earn dividends until your daily balance again reaches $500.
If your balance falls below the minimum of a tier, you'll earn dividends at the rate of the tier that matches your account balance. For example, if you move from the third tier to the second tier, you’ll earn dividends at the rate associated with each tier for the days that your balance fell within those tiers.
No, you cannot access the funds in your money market account through an ATM. However, you can use digital banking to move money within your account 24/7, allowing you to instantly transfer funds to your Regular savings account or checking account to be accessed at an ATM.
When you use your debit card, a PIN is needed for access to ATMs and point-of-sale purchases. This PIN is selected by you and, for security purposes, is not kept on record by PSECU. If you’ve exceeded your PIN tries (three consecutive incorrect attempts), please contact Card Services at 800.237.7328 for assistance.
