Choose the IRA that’s right for you

Even if you already have other retirement savings, an IRA can be an important way to supplement and support them—and it’s a great way to reduce your tax burden. We offer Roth and Traditional IRAs, both of which can be opened as a typical savings account, or as an investment certificate. We also offer a Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP) and Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA). All of these programs offer distinct tax advantages. Your tax adviser can help you determine which option might be right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! We offer a safe place for you to save your money, with deposits insured up to at least $250,000 per individual depositor by the NCUA, backed by the full faith of the United States Government.

  • ​There is no minimum balance required for our IRA savings accounts. For our IRA certificates, the minimum balance is $500 for a share certificate, and $100 for a Smart Growth certificate.

  • ​A certificate is an option you can use with either a Roth or Traditional IRA, in order to save more money. It is an investment account, similar to a CD from a bank, that allows you to save more by leaving your money untouched.

  • With a Traditional IRA, your contributions are tax-deductible (on state and federal tax returns) for the year you make the contribution. When you make withdrawals in retirement, you’ll be taxed. Roth IRAs do not offer a tax break for contributions, but your earnings and withdrawals during retirement are typically tax-free.

  • ​As of 2018, the maximum contribution is $5,500 for those under 50, and $6,500 for those 60 or older.
