Retirement Savings
Save more. Secure your future.
Your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be established as either a Share Account or a Share Certificate. Both help you save for retirement.
- An IRA Share Account is a tax advantaged savings account with no fixed term.
- An IRA Certificate is a tax advantaged Share Certificate with a fixed term.
IRA Account Types

Roth IRA

Maximum Contributions for 2024
Members under age 50 can contribute up to $7,000 and members over age 50 can contribute up to $8,000.
Minimum Distributions
The IRS imposes a 10% penalty on funds withdrawn from IRA accounts before age 59 ½ except under certain circumstances. Consult a tax advisor for details. The Minimum distribution age has changed. The Secure 2.0 Act raised the age that account owners must begin taking Requires Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from age 72 to 73. For 2024, the age at which account owners must start taking their RMD is 73.
