Individual Retirement Accounts
Individual Retirement Accounts
Our Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) allow you to save for retirement through yearly contributions while offering tax benefits. We offer both IRA Share Accounts1 or Certificates2. Available from 6 months to 5 years terms with competitive dividends rates.
IRA
Traditional IRAs are taxed at withdrawal but allow tax deductions on the contributions that you make. Also, this type of IRA requires you to begin withdrawing funds at 70 ½ years of age.
Roth IRA
A Roth IRA allows you to enjoy tax-free growth and does not require you to withdraw at any age, but you’ll pay taxes on your contributions. Your contributions also depend on the modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI, limits.
