Traditional IRA

Setting aside money in an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be an ideal way to plan for your future, supplement other retirement savings and meet your long-term financial goals. A traditional IRA at NET Credit Union offers tax-deferred savings. Meaning contributions aren’t taxed until you withdraw funds at retirement. At that time, any money you withdraw will be taxed as income at your ordinary tax rate. A benefit is that many people pay less in taxes on these earnings because they are in a lower tax bracket after retirement. Open an IRA to enjoy a unique tax advantage and NET Credit Union’s competitive dividend rates. There’s no time like today to start saving for your retirement! Speak to your tax advisor to see which IRA might be better for your individual tax situation.
