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*.

In order to open an IRA you will need to come into a branch or give us a call!

“I have been a member of Deseret First Credit Union for over 20 years. Never once during that time have I considered changing to another financial institution. I have utilized many services offered by DFCU… Representatives of DFCU have even contacted me when a new rate or product would be to my benefit – now, that is going above and beyond!”

— Jamie Glenn

“We opened savings accounts for each of our six children when they were little… When they entered the university they expanded those services to checking accounts and car loans. So I can say we have our whole family with DFCU, a tradition we hope to pass on for future grandchildren. Thanks DFCU for your faithful service all these many years.”

— Guillermo & Mary Antivilo

They have been helpful in finding the BEST solution for my needs, not just for their gain. I appreciate that I have say in who represents me on the board. I encourage the credit union to govern with true principles as they run the business. Thank you for being a place that I have confidence in.”
