Traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA’s)

A traditional IRA is a deductible personal savings plan that can be used to build a substantial retirement fund with deferred taxes on both principal and accrued interest.
IRA contributions may drop your taxable income into a lower tax bracket, reducing your taxes even more. Only earned income is eligible for an IRA.

ROTH IRA

The Roth IRA is a nondeductible IRA that offers tax-free distributions. Tax-free earnings allow you to grow your savings at a faster pace than taxable investments. But, the best part about this investment product is that it offers tax-free distributions for qualified reasons. That means the money you withdraw doesn’t have to be included at tax time.
  • Maturities for IRA accounts are 3 months to 5 years
  • Minimum balance to open is $1,000
  • Compounded daily and credited monthly
  • Penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity
  • No commission, fees or set-up charges
For more information about IRA products, contact one of our branches.
