Is there anything in particular you need with the account? Does it need a checking option or is a high interest rate your onlt concern?

Do you really want a money market account for an emergency fund? I guess, when I think emergency fund, I think extremely safe. I would just think about finding the highest interest rate I could for a separate savings account. IMO, I would put the emergency fund into savings and play around with my other funds, in a money market account.
