Our Take
Ally's money market is the practical liquidity play: identical rate to its savings account but with a debit card and checkbook attached, making it a superior emergency-fund vehicle within the Ally ecosystem. Rate shoppers can beat it at Vio, but nobody beats the combination of access, polish, and zero fees. If you already bank with Ally, holding your emergency fund here instead of Online Savings is close to a free upgrade.
Best for: Ally customers who want emergency-fund yield with instant card and check access
