Ally Money Market Account review

Best for: Savers who want checks and a debit card with their yield.

Ally's money market account pays 3.20% with no minimum balance to earn it — plus a debit card and checks, so your emergency fund stays spendable while it earns.

How we make money (or don't): BidAsk currently has no affiliate relationships with these banks and earns no commission if you open an account — the links below go directly to each provider's own site, except the Marcus savings link, which is a personal referral link: if you open a Marcus Online Savings Account through it, you earn an extra 1.00% APY for 3 months (per Marcus's referral terms) and the site's publisher earns the same rate boost on his account. See our full disclosure.
