There are exceptional people working at Midland States Bank. They are always friendly and helpful whenever I encounter them. Always ready and willing to solve any problem I may need help with.
Linda, Customer for 30 Years
The tellers are all so friendly and the service is very personal. They suggested I think about a Money Market Account and were clear in their explanation. They were not pushy, but answered my questions, and then let me mull it over and take my time. I am so glad they did, and opening the money market account was very simple. But, I think the main thing is I feel they know me as a person and help me when I get confused.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a Money Market Account and a CD?

A Money Market Account (MMA) offers easy access to your funds with checks and a debit card, typically higher interest rates than regular savings accounts, and the flexibility to deposit and withdraw funds. MMAs are FDIC-insured and are best for those who want flexibility and easy access to their funds. 

In contrast, a Certificate of Deposit (CD) locks your money for a fixed term, with penalties for early withdrawal, and may provide higher interest rates than MMAs, often for longer terms. CDs are also FDIC-insured but are less flexible since you cannot access your funds until the term ends. CDs are ideal for those who can leave their money untouched for a set period in exchange for higher interest rates. 

Typically, people choose a Money Market for flexibility and easy access or opt for a CD if they can leave their money untouched for higher interest rates. 

What's the difference between a FlexSaver and a Money Market Account?

Our FlexSaver and Money Market Accounts both offer several advantages. The right one for you depends on how you plan to use your funds and what your spending and savings goals are. 

The FlexSaver is a traditional savings account, so you won’t have the ability to write checks or have access to a debit card. This will make you less likely to spend your money, but you won't earn as much interest. 

Meanwhile, a Money Market Account will require a higher minimum balance — but you'll be earning a higher interest rate on it, helping you reach your financial goals. It also offers quick, easy access to your funds with a debit card and checks. 

What are the requirements for opening a Money Market Account?

To open an account, you'll need to be 18 years old and provide: 

  • Your personal and contact information. 

  • Your U.S. address. 

  • Your social security number or employer identification number. 

  • A Money Market also requires a minimum opening balance of $2,500. 

How does a Money Market work?

Your money earns interest, often at rates comparable to high-yield savings accounts. Meanwhile, you can access your funds easily through checks or a debit card.

Is my money safe in a Money Market?

Yes! Money Market Accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum allowed by law, just like regular savings accounts.

How often is interest paid on a Money Market Account?

On Midland's Money Market Accounts, interest is compounded once a month, helping your savings grow steadily over time.

Why should I choose a Money Market Account?

A Money Market Account is a smart choice if you want higher interest rates than a typical savings account while maintaining easy access to your money.

Can I set up direct deposit into my Money Market Account?

Yes, you can! Direct deposit is a convenient way to regularly add funds to your Money Market, and watch your savings grow.
