  • Do you have an orphaned 401(k) from your previous employer?
  • Are your priorities changing from asset accumulation to securing a stream of dependable income?
  • Do you feel overwhelmed by retirement options?
  • Do you need tax deductible contributions?

Traditional IRA

Our Traditional IRA allows you to save for retirement at a fixed rate of interest and is a great way to save for retirement! Taxes on interest earned are deferred until disbursement and contributions are tax deductible. These tax advantages make the traditional IRA a powerful tool in creating a balanced, long-term savings plan. Inquire at one of our branches for terms and annual percentage yields.

Roth IRA

The Roth IRA allows for non-deductible contributions with tax-free withdrawals for certain distributions after a five-year waiting period. This means you get tax-free growth on compounded interest provided the withdrawal is a qualified distribution! Qualified distributions include withdrawals after reaching age 59 ½, a first-time home purchase, permanent disability or death. The short-term benefits are not as appealing as the Traditional IRA, but the long-term benefits cannot be matched. Younger investors will find the Roth IRA more liquid and flexible under a variety of qualified purposes.

Coverdell Education Savings Account

Save for your child's education. This nondeductible account offers tax-free withdrawals provided the money is used for qualified educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment.
