Investopedia explains 'Money Market Account'
Many money market accounts place restrictions on the amount of transactions you can make in a month (such as five or less). Furthermore, you usually have to maintain a certain balance in the account to receive the higher rate of interest. Some banks require at least $500, others require a much higher balance.
