Once you have decided to open an IRA Savings account, you can choose to invest those funds into an IRA Certificate.

Benefits of investing in an IRA Certificate :

  1. Various terms – From 6 to 60 month terms that provide you flexibility.
  2. Minimum Deposit – Open with as little as $500 for a regular IRA Certificate or with $100,000 for a Jumbo.
  3. Higher Returns – IRA Certificates earn more than IRA Savings.
  4. Guaranteed savings – Other investments can be risky, so guaranteed returns provide you peace of mind for your retirement.

An IRA-to-IRA rollover moves money between like IRAs. The IRA assets that you plan to roll over are paid directly to you. You would in turn forward those funds to the credit union to complete the transaction. 

IRA assets to another IRA can only be rolled over once every 12 months. One year must pass after taking a distribution and rolling it over before you are eligible to roll over another distribution from any of your IRAs. 

  • There is no limit to the number of rollovers you may perform from any of your eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans to a Traditional IRA. 
  • Any required minimum distributions paid to an IRA owner or beneficiary may not be rolled over. 
  • A rollover generally must be completed within 60 days from the date you receive the assets. 
  • A rollover contribution of Roth IRA assets may not be made to a Traditional IRA. 

If you want to move assets between two like IRAs (e.g., Traditional IRA to Traditional IRA), the simplest way to do so is through a transfer. Transferring assets prevents you from actually receiving the money when it comes out of the IRA. 

  • You may perform an unlimited number of transfers. 
  • A transfer contribution may not be made from a Roth IRA.  

The credit union can initiate the transfer or you may do so with your other financial institution. If you initiate the transfer, you must provide a copy of your statement.
