Why open an IRA with HFS?
Proper planning and preparation is key to enjoying your retirement. With your Credit Union, you can select the IRA that best fits your financial goals.
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA allows you to save pre-tax income for retirement. Tax payments are deferred until the money is withdrawn, giving you the benefit of earning compound interest on the larger untaxed amount. In addition, your contributions may be tax deductible.2
The NCUA insures Traditional and Roth IRAs for $250,000 in the aggregate at each Credit Union. Click here for more detailed information on Traditional IRAs and review the “How Your Accounts are Federally Insured” brochure for details on your additional retirement account coverage.
Roth IRA
Contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax income which allows you to withdraw the money without penalties or taxes anytime during or before retirement.2 Your earnings have tax-free interest, dividends and distributions, if money remains in the IRA for at least 5 years and is withdrawn for a qualified distribution.

Coverdell Education Savings Account
A Coverdell Education Savings Account allows parents and students to save up to $2,000 of after-tax income per child, per year, and let it grow tax free for education expenses.2 Tax free growth means you won’t pay taxes on earnings from interest, dividends, appreciation, etc., if used for an eligible institution which include elementary, secondary, and postsecondary schools.
