Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

• Tax-advantaged retirement savings*
• Rates above standard savings rates
• Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, or Coverdell ESAs available
• No setup or administrative fees
• No monthly or annual maintenance fees
• $10 minimum deposit to open

There are advantages to both traditional and Roth IRAs. One of the biggest differences is the time at which you see the most advantage. A traditional IRA provides potential tax relief today, while a Roth IRA has the potential for the most tax benefit at time of retirement.

Please talk to your CPA or accountant to see which would best benefit you, based on your tax situation.
