A certificate account earns dividends based on the opening balance and term invested. It allows you to earn higher dividends on larger account balances that are deposited for longer time periods. The minimum balance to open a share certificate is $500.
Your savings are federally insured to at least $250,000 and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government, the National Credit Union Administration, a U.S. Government Agency, and up to an additional $250,000 by Excess Share Insurance, for a total of $500,000.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
Traditional IRAs
A Traditional IRA lets you put money away for retirement while allowing the savings to grow tax-deferred. Your contributions may also be tax-deductible. Anyone that has earned income is eligible to open an IRA.
Roth IRAs
A Roth IRA is a retirement account where you pay taxes on the money going into your account, then all future withdrawals are tax free. There are no up-front tax deductions for Roth contributions. Roth distributions are tax-free if done following the correct procedure. You must have earned income to contribute to a Roth IRA, and must meet MAGI limits.
For more specific information regarding IRAs contact your local branch.
