Money Market Rate Trends

Current Money Market Rate Trends

The High-Yield Money Market rose by 0.023 this week, pushing the current average APY to 3.060%. Savers depositing this week are earning more than they would have last week, when the average stood at 3.037%.

The Standard Money Market eased this week to 0.732% from 0.753% last week. The spread between the High-Yield Money Market and Standard Money Market currently stands at 2.329 percentage points.

These averages are calculated from 13,263 verified money market rate quotes collected across 2,148 banks and credit unions reporting from all 50 states — updated daily by MonitorBankRates.com's proprietary systems. Rates are what real licensed institutions are actually offering to depositors, not promotional teaser rates.

Unlike comparison sites that show only a handful of institutions, MonitorBankRates maintains a continuously updated money market account rate database spanning community banks, regional lenders, large institutions, and credit unions in every state. This scale allows us to calculate averages that reflect the full deposit landscape — not just the most aggressive advertisers — giving savers, journalists, and financial professionals a more accurate benchmark for where APYs actually stand across the country.
