Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

• Tax-advantaged retirement savings*
• Competitive interest above standard savings rates
• Traditional and Roth IRA options
• No setup fees
• No monthly or annual maintenance fees
• Annual contribution limits apply (see current contribution limits; $6,000 as of 2020)*
• Additional $1,000 "catch-up" contribution allowed for ages 50+
