Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

• Traditional and Roth IRA options
• $6,500 contribution limit per year
• Additional $1,000 "catch-up" contribution allowed for ages 50+
• Funds can be used to purchase CDs within IRA

There are advantages to both traditional and Roth IRAs. One of the biggest differences is the time at which you see the most advantage. A traditional IRA provides potential tax relief today, while a Roth IRA has the potential for the most tax benefit at time of retirement.
