IRAs

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can provide additional retirement security. Both Traditional and Roth IRAs are available as a savings account or certificate. We are available to help explain your options.

Deposits for any tax year may be made until April 15th of the following year and can be set up through payroll deduction. As with all MEFCU deposit accounts, IRAs are insured up to $325,000. You may qualify for tax advantages from either Roth or Traditional IRAs; see your tax advisor for more information.
