What Is an IRA?
An Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, is a savings account designed specifically for retirement planning. It allows you to save money over time while taking advantage of potential tax benefits, depending on the type of IRA you choose.
IRAs help members grow retirement savings with greater purpose and structure while offering flexible contribution opportunities year after year.
At Connect Credit Union, we offer IRA options that help members save confidently and plan for the future.
Types of IRA Accounts
Choosing the right IRA depends on your financial goals, income strategy, and retirement timeline.
Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA may allow you to make tax-deductible contributions, helping reduce your taxable income today while your savings grow tax-deferred until retirement.
This option is often ideal for members who want potential tax benefits now and expect to withdraw funds during retirement.
Roth IRA
A Roth IRA allows contributions using after-tax income, which means qualified withdrawals during retirement may be tax-free.
This option can be a strong fit for members who want tax-free income later and expect their income to grow over time.
