Planning for retirement starts with the right account and there’s no better time to start than now.

BMFCU Traditional IRA

A Traditional IRA gives you the benefit of tax-deferred growth. In most cases, contributions are tax-deductible in the year they’re made, helping reduce your taxable income now. Taxes are paid only when you begin withdrawals in retirement.

IRA Account FAQs

What is the difference between a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA?
The main difference is when your money is taxed. With a Traditional IRA, contributions are often tax-deductible in the year they’re made and you pay taxes when you withdraw funds in retirement. With a Roth IRA, you contribute after-tax dollars but qualified withdrawals in retirement are completely tax-free. The right choice depends on your current tax situation and what you expect your tax rate to be in retirement — a financial advisor can help you decide.
Annual contribution limits are set by the IRS and may change from year to year. Both Traditional and Roth IRAs share the same annual contribution limit. You must have earned income to contribute and income limits may apply to Roth IRA eligibility. Visit irs.gov or speak with a tax advisor for the most current limits.
No — Bragg Mutual FCU charges no setup or maintenance fees on either Traditional or Roth IRA accounts. A minimum deposit of $10 is required to open an account and a minimum balance of $300 is required to earn dividends.
For Traditional IRAs, penalty-free withdrawals generally begin at age 59½. Required minimum distributions must begin at age 70½ per IRS guidelines. For Roth IRAs there are no required minimum distributions during the account holder’s lifetime, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free if the account is at least five years old and you are age 59½ or older, permanently disabled, or using funds for a qualified first-time home purchase up to $10,000.
Yes — Bragg Mutual FCU can accept rollovers from existing IRAs or eligible employer retirement plans such as a 401(k).
