   While both are savings accounts that offer the opportunity to earn interest on your deposit, they have important differences. A money market account typically has a variable interest rate, while allowing you to write checks and have regular access to your money. A certificate of deposit, or CD, typically has a fixed rate for a guaranteed term, provided you don’t make any withdrawals of your money during the term—typically, there is a penalty for an early withdrawal of deposited funds.
