Enjoy tax advantages while you build your retirement fund and diversify your investments
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) helps you save for retirement by growing your money with tax advantages. Choose from a variety of retirement accounts, including Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs.
You can earn quarterly dividends on a variable-rate IRA, with rates adjusted monthly based on money market conditions. Or you can earn a higher rate of return with a fixed-rate Tax-Deferred IRA Certificate of one to five years.
Be sure to talk with your tax advisor before opening or converting an IRA.
With any Global Credit Union IRA, you can:
You can begin withdrawing funds from your Traditional IRA penalty-free at age 59 ½. You can withdraw contributions from your Roth IRA without penalty at any time.
You must begin making required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your IRA at age 72.
Before you make any withdrawals from your IRA, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor.
You can make some early withdrawals from a Traditional IRA before age 59 ½ without a tax penalty, including those for a first-time home purchase or eligible higher education expenses.
You can also withdraw contributions from a Roth IRA without penalty at any time.
Before you make any withdrawals from your IRA, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor.
