What is a CD Rate?
A savings account that holds a fixed amount of money for a fixed period of time, such as six months, one year, or five years, and in exchange, Sonata pays you interest. When you cash in or redeem your CD, you receive the money you originally invested plus any interest.
What is a Money Market Account?
An account, available through banks and credit unions and insured by the FDIC or NCUA up to $250,000 per owner, typically offers higher interest rates compared to standard savings accounts but imposes restrictions on check, debit card, and electronic transactions, although withdrawals via ATM or in-person are often unlimited. Some money market accounts may have a minimum deposit requirement. It's advisable to verify FDIC or NCUA insurance coverage for multiple accounts with the same institution.

Which Option is Right for You?
CD or Money Market
When deciding between money market accounts and certificates of deposits (CDs), it's essential to consider your financial goals and risk tolerance. Money market accounts offer liquidity and typically have higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts, making them ideal for short-term savings goals or emergency funds. CDs usually offer higher interest rates but require locking in your funds for a specified period, making them suitable for those with a longer investment horizon and a willingness to sacrifice liquidity for potentially higher returns. Whether you're a conservative saver looking for a secure investment or a more adventurous investor seeking higher returns, we have tailored rates to match your requirements.
