Retirement Accounts
IRA and Retirement Savings Options
I got in touch with First U.S. to update my IRA, and both Ash and Thomas were very helpful and made the process as smooth as possible. - Jennifer C.
First U.S. Retirement Accounts have no trustee or administrative fees, so all of your retirement savings go toward building a nest egg for your future. Plus, your IRA funds are insured separately to an additional $250,000.
IRAs can be opened and funds deposited anytime during the current tax year, and until the official tax day (typically April 15) of the subsequent year in order to take advantage of IRA tax benefits.
IRA Certificates
Open an IRA certificate with as little as $500 and enjoy competitive, tiered rates on terms from 3 to 84 months. You’ll enjoy the peace of mind knowing that your funds are insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA, a U.S. Government Agency.
IRA Savings
A basic IRA savings account is a good place to start accumulating funds for retirement. First U.S. savings accounts may be opened as IRAs and pay dividends on balances as little as $100.
IRA Money Markets
Our popular money market accounts can also be opened as IRAs, assuring you great rates plus additional insurance.
