What is a Reverse Tier Savings Account/MMA?
A Reverse Tier Savings Account or Money Market Account is a financial product designed to offer higher interest rates on the initial portion of your balance. Unlike traditional savings accounts where larger balances yield better rates, the reverse tier structure incentivizes small savers by providing a higher annual percentage yield (APY) on the first segment of their deposits, tapering off as the balance grows.
