Individual Retirement Accounts
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are tax-advantaged accounts specifically set up to be used during retirement. An IRA CD is an IRA where your money is invested in CDs. This means that you can take advantage of the higher interest rates and stability of CD products without the risk of traditional investments such as stocks. By opening a CD as an IRA, you may be able to enjoy tax benefits, but you typically have to wait until the age of 59 ½ to take money out of an IRA without paying a penalty.
The sooner you start saving, the longer your money has to grow. We offer several FDIC insured1 IRA CD options to choose from with terms of 1 month to 5 years including Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and SEP IRA.
These accounts offer a fixed rate of return to help you grow your retirement savings.
Our team of experts can help you understand your IRA options and choose the account that works best for you. Stop by your nearest branch or call us at 888-853-7100 to get started.
