everbank-money-market-account-yield-251EverBank of Jacksonville, Florida, is offering a money market account ( ”Yield Pledge Money Market Account”) that currently has an annual percentage Yield (APY) of 2.51% for the first three months.

The 3 month “Bonus Interest Rate” period APY on the money market account is for the first $50,000 deposited, balances over $50,000 currently earn an APY of 1.50%.

The rate and yield on the first $50,000 will remain fixed for the first three months. In other words, the account rate and yield are guaranteed. For money market account balances over $50,000 the rate is a variable rate.

If you combine the 2.51% 3 month bonus savings account period and the current account APY after the bonus period has ended, the first year’s APY is 1.77%.
