Differences in the certificates we offer

  • Individual Retirement Account (IRA/Traditional & Roth) Certificates - help you reach your retirement savings goals

What’s the difference between Traditional and Roth Certificates?

  • Traditional IRA - Contributions are tax-deductible in the year they are made, because deposits are made pre-tax
  • Roth IRA - Withdrawals in retirement are not taxed, because deposits are made after tax
