    Enjoy Tax-Deductible Deposits.

    With a traditional fixed rate IRA, your contributions (deposits) will be subtracted from your total gross income—directly lowering the taxes you owe (income limits apply). And if you opt for a fixed rate Roth IRA, you’ll enjoy tax free withdrawals down the road.

    Why Do I Need an IRA?

    An IRA, or Individual Retirement Account, is a retirement savings account that features tax-saving advantages and allows you to invest in your future financial health. The sooner you open a retirement account, the more time your money has to grow.

    FAQs

    Get Answers to Our Frequently Asked Questions.

    What’s the difference between a variable rate and a fixed rate?

    A fixed-rate has the same interest for the duration of the loan, and variable rates have interest that changes with the fluctuating market.

    Will my rate ever change the duration of my term?

    If you open a fixed IRA, your rate will be fixed in place for the duration of the term and is not subject to ever change. A flexible-rate IRA has rates that change with the fluctuating market.

    How do I apply to open an IRA?

    To open an IRA through MCU, call us at 1-844-MCU-NYNY (1-844-628-6969) or visit your local branch. NYMCU Digital Banking does not allow members to open an IRA online at this time.

    At what point is the money in my account taxed?

    It depends on what kind of IRA you choose to open. The money in a Traditional IRA is taxed upon withdrawal, while contributions to a Roth IRA are taxed upfront, allowing for tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

    Can I take my money out of the account at any time?

    You may deduct from your account at any time, but if you are under the age of 59 and a half you will be subject to penalty.
