Roth IRA

A retirement account that offers different tax incentives than a Traditional IRA.

An individual retirement account that offers different tax incentives than a Traditional IRA to boost your retirement savings. Unlike a Traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are never tax-deductible, but the initial deposits to your Roth IRA can be withdrawn at any time. However, for tax-free dividends, you may not withdraw funds until you are 59 ½ years of age and have had the account for five years. You pay taxes on your contributions now.

¹APY refers to annual percentage yield and is subject to change at the discretion of Eastman Credit Union with the exception of the share account which is determined by the credit union board of directors. APY assumes dividends will remain on deposit. APY is an annual calculation based on 365 days (366 days in a leap year). Fees or withdrawals may reduce earnings. APY can change after account opening for variable rate accounts. APY shown is accurate as of the last dividend declaration date. Dividends are paid monthly on all accounts. Dividends earned on all accounts may be transferred to another account at ECU. Checks are not issued for dividends earned on these account types.
