Fidelity® Cash Management Account (CMA)

★4.9 / 5.0Issuer: Fidelity Investments (FDIC Program Banks / SIPC)

Fidelity’s Cash Management Account bridges the gap between a high-yield savings account and an international checking account. Unlike Schwab—where idle checking cash earns 0.45%—Fidelity lets you select the Fidelity Government Money Market Fund (SPAXX) as your automated core checking position, earning ~4.50%+ yield on every dollar until your debit card swipe, ACH bill pay, or check clears. Plus, the Visa® Gold Check Card reimburses 100% of ATM fees worldwide with zero foreign transaction fees.
