A Business Money Market Account is a savings account that is a hybrid between savings and checking accounts in that it earns higher dividends, like savings, but allows members access to their funds easily by transfer or by check.
Yes, Money Markets do have a minimum balance fee. If the account falls below the $10,000 minimum balance at any time during the month, the account holder must pay a $10 monthly fee. To avoid this, we recommend setting up Online Banking notifications so that you can regularly receive updates on your account balance.
To be able to open a Business Money Market, you must meet the following eligibility requirements: (1) You must be 18 years of age or older (2) You must live, work, worship, or attend school in Montgomery or Stewart counties in Tennessee or Christian, Trigg or Todd counties in Kentucky.

Examples of acceptable IDs include a State Driver's License or a U.S or Foreign Passport. If we have trouble validating your ID, we may ask for a secondary ID. If you have a question about whether or not an ID can be used, just text us at 931.431.6800 or chat with us at forteracu.com. Please click here for full list of the documents you will need.
It costs $10,000 to open a Money Market Account. $10,000 is the required account minimum balance.
Dividends are extra money that your account earns just by being open and meeting our minimum account dividend earning value. The Business Money Market Account earns dividends monthly as long as your account has at least $10,000 deposited in it. It is just another way we like to say thank you to our members for trusting us with your hard-earned "dough". To learn more about what the current dividend rate is and our other savings accounts that earn dividends, please see our Rate and Fee Disclosure.
