• Online and mobile management: Manage your account, view statements, transfer funds, and monitor activity through digital banking platforms for secure, 24/7 access.
• Automatic features: Set up recurring transfers, move funds from checking to savings for disciplined saving, and use alerts to help you track balances and transactions.

Benefits

A Money Market Account at Fulton balances convenience and return. Key benefits include:

• Higher earnings than basic checking: MMAs typically offer interest rates that outpace standard checking accounts while maintaining ready access to cash.
• Flexibility: Ideal for saving toward short-term goals like home improvements, vacations, or predictable large expenses, while keeping funds accessible if needs arise.
• Safety: FDIC insurance and the stability of an established financial institution reduce risk for your principal.
• Account management tools: Intuitive digital tools, statements, and alerts help you stay organized and make informed decisions about your cash position.
• Customized solutions: Whether you are a saver looking for a primary emergency reserve or a small business seeking working capital flexibility, account features can be matched to your objectives.

Who Should Consider This Account

The Fulton Money Market Account is a fitting option for:

• Individuals building or maintaining an emergency fund who want higher returns than a standard checking account.
• Households saving for upcoming large purchases, education expenses, or planned life events.
• Small business owners seeking a safe, interest-bearing account for operating reserves and short-term liquidity needs.
• Clients who want easy access to funds but prefer an account that encourages saving through tiered rates and account structure.

How It Works

Opening and maintaining a Money Market Account is straightforward. After establishing the account, your balance will be placed into interest-bearing tiers. Interest is typically compounded monthly and credited to your account on a regular basis. You can access funds via approved withdrawal methods and monitor activity using Fulton’s digital banking tools. Account rules, including any minimum balance requirements, monthly maintenance fees, or transaction limits, are disclosed at account opening and on periodic statements.

Account Terms and Considerations

Before opening an MMA, consider these common elements that affect experience and returns:

• Minimum opening deposit: Some tiered accounts require a minimum initial deposit to open or to earn the highest rate tiers.
• Balance tiers: Interest accrues according to established tiers — higher balances typically receive higher rates.
• Fees: Monthly maintenance fees may apply if balance thresholds are not met; fee waivers and exceptions may be available depending on account activity or linked services.
• Transaction access: While convenient access is a hallmark of money market accounts, certain withdrawal and transfer limitations may be enforced by account agreement.
• Rate variability: Interest rates are often variable and can change in response to market conditions; account disclosures describe how rates are determined and adjusted.

Security and Trust

Security is a priority. Fulton employs industry-standard protections for digital banking, including encryption, multi-factor authentication options, transaction monitoring, and fraud prevention tools. Combined with federal deposit insurance, these measures help safeguard your deposits while you focus on your financial goals.
