Retirement Savings
Stress-free retirement planning
Offering both Roth & Traditional IRAs
What are you dreaming about? Touring the coasts, serving a mission, visiting grandchildren around the country, or watching your favorite show… No matter your choice, we want to help you build a worry-free future. An IRA can help you get there.
An Individual Retirement Account is a specialized product used to save for retirement. Additionally, they may have higher return rates compared to a typical savings account. So you can look to DFCU for all your retirement needs!
Traditional IRA
Contributions to a Traditional IRA may be fully or partially tax deductible*. Your deductible contributions and account earnings are not taxed until you make withdrawals in your retirement*.
Roth IRA
Roth IRAs are similar to Traditional IRAs, but contributions are not tax deductible. Because you pay taxes on the money you put into a Roth IRA, you do not pay taxes when it’s time to withdraw at retirement age*. Earnings on your Roth IRA may also be tax free*.
