Our individual retirement accounts work hard to keep your retirement savings safe.
Your retirement savings are too important to take chances on. That's why we offer both Traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Certificates of Deposit with guaranteed rates, fixed terms, and the security of FDIC insurance.
Already have a retirement account?
If you have existing IRA accounts or 401K plans from prior employers and want to consolidate into one convenient account, our MB&T team can help you manage that transition process.
IRAs
Terms
Your choice of IRA CD terms ranging from 30 days to 60 months. Open a new IRA or rollover an existing IRA or 401(k).
Access to Funds
Early withdrawal penalties apply. Also, talk to your tax advisor for tax implications of the early withdrawal of an IRA.
Traditional IRAs: A Traditional IRA provides the opportunity for your earnings to grow tax deferred until they are withdrawn in retirement and offers the potential for tax-deductible contributions. With a traditional IRA, the goal is to keep this money growing until you are at an age where you will be in a lower tax bracket.
Roth IRAs: Roth IRAs offer you an opportunity to create tax-free income during retirement and can be a good way to diversify your future retirement income. Roth IRAs can also help maximize the value of the funds you pass on to your heirs, who may also benefit from tax-free growth and income.
