How do I earn dividends on a Money Market account?

Dividends are calculated on a daily basis and are compounded monthly. For a Premier Money Market account, you need to maintain a minimum balance of $2,000. For a Platinum Money Market account, you need to maintain a minimum balance of $20,000 and hold an active Alta Vista checking account. Active is defined as used on a regular basis with obvious transactional activity during the course of a calendar month.
