Learn About Our Savings Options From the day of initial deposit into a Sun East Savings, Money Market, or Certificate Account, you begin earning high-paying dividends. These dividends are posted monthly to your account. Accounts may be titled either individually or jointly, in trust for, or as custodian. Money Market Accounts Money Market Accounts (MMA) typically provide a higher dividend rate than an interest-bearing savings account and offer the convenience of immediate access to your money. These types of accounts require that you maintain an average minimum daily balance. Certificate Accounts Certificates are a safe investment with a guaranteed, fixed rate of return that is typically higher than most savings accounts. Sun East offers a variety of terms with minimum deposits as low as $500.
