IRAs: Roth IRAs & Traditional IRAs
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) may be opened at any time with a deposit of $10 or more. Funds can also be invested in IRA certificates starting at $500 and earn the same favorable rates and terms as our regular share certificate accounts.
Roth IRA
Yearly contribution for 2024 is $7,000, or $8,000 if you are 50 years old or older.
Contributions are not-tax-deductible.
Contributions generally can be distributed tax-free at any time.

Earnings can be distributed tax-free if the Roth IRA owner first made a Roth IRA contribution at least five years ago, and is age 59 ½ or older, disabled, deceased, or qualifies as a first-time home-buyer.
Distributions are not required until after the Roth IRA owner dies.

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESA)
A Coverdell ESA can help you save for a child's education expenses including tuition & fees, books, tutoring, supplies, technology, equipment, internet access, related services, uniforms, transportation, supplementary items, room & board (limits apply). They may be used for elementary, secondary and higher education expenses (public & private schools).
With an ESA you make nondeductible contributions that provide the potential for tax-free withdrawals - including earnings - down the road*.
Who Can Contribute to an ESA? Anyone can contribute to a child's ESA; family & non-family alike, as long as the contributor's modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) falls below or within the applicable income limits*.
