Secure Your Financial Future Today

How you save for retirement can make the difference between crackers and caviar. What makes Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) such a great savings tool is the special federal tax laws governing IRA earnings.

Over time, these tax features can result in significantly larger IRA savings accumulations than available with ordinary savings tools.

How It Works:
Choose the IRA plan best for you:

  • Traditional IRA: Earnings are tax-deferred until they are distributed.
  • Roth IRA: Earnings may be distributed tax-free.
  • SEP IRA: Allows employers to contribute into a Traditional IRA established in the employee's name.

Then choose the savings option of how your funds will be deposited:

  • IRA Certificate: Choose your term length. Allows you to earn a guaranteed return at a higher dividend rate.
  • Variable Rate IRA: Start early and contribute anytime.

APY = Annual Percentage Yield. APY is the annualized rate based on a compounding period of one year. When the deposited money earns interest and the accumulated interest starts earning interest as well, we are talking about compounding. Fees could reduce the earnings on an account. All rates except certificate rates are subject to change retroactively to the beginning of the month.
