Individual Retirement Accounts  The Credit Union offers a full array of IRA products. An IRA is a great way to save for retirement, even if you are already covered by a pension. And recent legislation makes IRA's even more attractive than before with higher annual deposit limits as well as other improvements. Check out our various IRA products to see what works best for you:

  • Traditional IRA: A good choice if you qualify for a tax deferment on your deposits. All earnings are also tax deferred until you withdraw the funds at retirement. Tax deferment means that you pay income tax on deposits and earnings, but not until you withdraw them from the account; and we assume that your income tax rate will be much lower at retirement than what it is right now while you are working.

  • Roth IRA: You might consider this type if you don't qualify for tax deferment on your deposits. The best part about this account is that all of the earnings on your IRA are tax-free! That's right, assuming your funds are on deposit in the account a minimum length of time (determined by law) you pay NO TAXES on your earnings. This is a real plus when you add up all the interest you stand to make on this account over the years. Other deposit limits are the same as for Traditional IRA's.

  • Education IRA: This IRA is really a savings account for your child's future education that gives you some tax advantages as the depositor. Rules and deposit limits have been greatly (and positively!) affected by recent legislation. This account deserves a fresh look!

Give us a call today to discuss these options and which might be right for you. (It's also a good idea to discuss it with your tax advisor.) ALSO CHECK OUT OUR IRA CERTIFICATES AND GET THE SAME HIGH YIELDS AS REGULAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES!

IRA Certificates This is the way to go if you're looking to earn more with your IRA than a passbook savings-type IRA.
