Individual Retirement
Accounts (IRA's)
For those wishing
to save for their retirement, we offer Traditional Individual Retirement
Accounts and Roth IRAs.
Traditional IRAs
Traditional IRA certificates have a term of 18 months with interest
compounded quarterly and credited to the account. Additional contributions
are permitted in amounts of $50.00 or greater.
In many instances, a tax deduction is available for the tax year for
which the funds are contributed. The contributions as well as the earnings
accumulate tax-free until you withdraw from the account. There are no
account maintenance fees. Distributions are subject to income tax, generally
in the year you receive them and for account holders over 59-1/2 years
old, the early withdrawal penalty of 6 months loss of interest is waived.
Roth IRAs
Roth IRA certificates
have a term of 60 months with interest compounded quarterly and credited
to the account. Additional contributions are permitted in amounts of
$50.00 or greater. Contributions are not tax deductible when the funds
are contributed but the Roth IRA earnings accumulate tax free and remain
tax free when you have a qualified distribution. There are no account
maintenance fees. For account holders over 59-1/2 years old, the early
withdrawal penalty of 6 months loss of interest is waived.
