A simple savings account generally pays the owner a set amount of stated interest on his or her deposits based upon an particular annual rate. Money market savings accounts typically require higher balances and limit monthly transactions, but generally do pay a higher interest rate. Both kinds of accounts are guaranteed in the United States by the FDIC and NCUA.
