An IRA is a savings program that can save you money while building for your retirement security. IRA funds can be placed into any of our attractive certificate accounts and we also offer a special savings account that can be used to accumulate IRA funds.

We offer Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts.

• Traditional IRA

• Is a reliable source of income when you retire and may give you a tax break now
• You must start making withdrawals when you turn 73. You’ll have to pay taxes on your contributions and the interest they earned when you make your withdrawals.
• All members are eligible to open an IRA.

• Roth IRA

• Your contributions are not tax deductible
• Your interest income accumulates in the account tax-free
• You can make tax-free withdrawals starting at age 59 ½, if it’s been 5 years since you opened the account, but you’re not required to make withdrawals at any age.
• If you are not eligible to deduct your contributions, the Roth IRA is your best choice for retirement saving.

• Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (Formerly Education IRAs)

• Are classified as IRAs but are used for saving for the educational costs of children and grandchildren.
• You are allowed to make contributions on behalf of a beneficiary.
