ithinkfi money market accounts pay tiered dividends up to 4.10% APY based on your daily balance.
Your entire balance earns the rate for the tier it falls into each day, and dividends are credited to the account monthly.
There is no minimum balance to open and no monthly service fee. Moving money in is easy: direct deposit to ithinkfi routing number 267077627 or a transfer from any linked account.

Money Market vs Savings
A money market account adds check writing to savings-style dividends, while a regular savings account does not include checks.
Both account types are share accounts, meaning they establish your ithinkfi membership and pay dividends on your balance. The key difference is payment flexibility.
If you want to earn a strong yield and occasionally pay large expenses directly, the money market is the better fit. If you simply want a safe place to set money aside, a regular savings account works well.

Who a Money Market Account Is For
A money market account fits members who keep larger balances and want dividends plus occasional check access.
Common uses include emergency funds, home down payments, and planned large purchases, because the money stays liquid while earning a competitive tiered APY.
Business owners also use ithinkfi money market accounts to park operating cash between payables, and our team of 25 member service specialists supports them directly.
It is not a replacement for everyday spending: high-volume transaction accounts are better served by an ithinkfi checking account.
