Money market accounts can be a handy vehicle for some customers, with flexibility to access your money alongside decent interest earning opportunities. However, if you’re asking - does Chase have a money market account - at the time of writing, the answer is no.

Chase does offer a money market fund¹, which is a different type of investment vehicle, as well as some other products like savings accounts and CDs. We’ll look at some alternatives to a Chase bank money market account, later.

What is Chase’s money market account rate?

At the time of writing, the Chase money market account rate isn’t available as this product isn’t offered to new customers. However, Chase does have a couple of different savings accounts: Chase Savings and Chase Premier Savings², plus some Certificates of Deposit (CDs) available.
