For Members who want federally guaranteed growth with competitive returns, Island Federal’s IRA Certificates combine the tax advantages of an IRA with the stability of a certificate. Choose from flexible terms and enjoy higher dividend rates than a standard IRA Savings Account, all while keeping your retirement funds safe and NCUA-insured.
With a Traditional IRA Certificate, you may qualify for immediate tax benefits since contributions are often tax-deductible, and your earnings grow tax-deferred until retirement. With a Roth IRA Certificate, your contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but your dividends grow tax-free and qualified withdrawals in retirement are also tax-free. IRA Certificates are ideal if you’re looking for steady, predictable earnings while taking advantage of the long-term retirement benefits that only an IRA provides.
