Money Market is a term for exchanges of money between banks and the U.S. Government. These exchanges
of asset backed short-term loans provide funds to very stable companies, banks, and credit unions—and in return
the lenders are paid a moderate interest rate. Given the stability of the institutions involved and the
intrinsic value of assets, risk is minimized. Money Markets exist primarily to provide liquidity for our financial
system and for our depositors.
When you open a Money Market Account with Brotherhood Credit Union we invest your savings in
well-regulated Money Market funds. In exchange for maintaining a minimum balance of $35,000 we’re able
to provide you with a significantly higher interest rate than a normal savings account and with no risk.
The NCUA — National Credit Union Administration — is an independent federal agency that guarantees member
deposits up to $250,000. Any deposits over $250,000 are fully insured through MSIC. In other words, when
you open a Money Market with Brotherhood Credit Union, we invest your money in regulated funds but, BCU,
not you, takes the risk.
