Chase Money Market Savings℠
Save Money with a Chase Savings Plan…
One of the best features of the Chase Money Market Savings℠ program is not only can your savings account be connected with your checking account, allowing your savings balance to be used to offset your checking account’s monthly service fee, but you can also link your savings and checking accounts for overdraft protection. That’s right, should you fail to properly balance your checking account and make a purchase which causes you to spend more than you have, Chase will automatically take the remaining purchase balance from your savings account, rather than charge you an overdraft fee (often ranging between $30 and $40).
Another nice feature that comes with a Chase Money Market Savings℠ account is that customers are automatically enrolled in the Chase Automatic Savings Program. This allows those of you who are reluctant to regularly set aside money for savings to automatically transfer a given sum on a given date. Customers can start saving money by selecting the amount they wish to set aside and how often to make a transfer by logging into Chase Online℠ and going to the ‘Payments & Transfers’ tab. Your new savings account from Chase will also provide many industry standard features, such as free online banking, paperless statements (online statements), and free email alerts, should there be fraudulent or suspicious activity with your account, Chase will automatically alert you.
Automatically save money via transfers from your Chase Better Banking® Checking account!
A few other things that you’ll want to be aware of, in regards to acquiring a Chase Money Market Savings℠ account, is (i) your interest rate, (ii) your transaction fees, and (iii) your monthly service fee. Your interest rate is compounded, and credited, annually based on your collected balance; account fees may reduce earnings; interest rates are variable, and are determined on a daily basis under Chase’s discretion. Transaction fees include a 3% exchange rate adjustment fee which is applied to debit card purchases and cash withdrawals made outside the U.S. and there’s a $2 fee for using an ATM that is not Chase owned and a $3 ATM fee for withdrawals made outside the U.S. The monthly service fee for this savings account is $12, unless you keep your minimum daily balance above $1,500, in which case your service fee is waived.

This is actually a really good program. Or at least it has been for me. I’ve probably saved somewhere upwards of $120 on overdraft fees by having them take the extra funds from my savings account.
If there is one thing that absolutely makes me furious. It’s when I overdraft on my checking account, and get charged $35, when there is over $2,000 in my savings account! One of these days I’ll sign up for overdraft protection!!
I’ve actually been shopping around for a good savings account and this one from Chase sounds really good. I’ll look into this account a bit further. Thanks!
I agree with Tony.. it is nice to have overdraft protection. I’ve overdrafted less than $1 on several occassions over the years, and sure enough it wound up costing me $30 a pop!
