Individual Retirement

Whether you're saving for retirement or education, we have a program that can help you achieve your goals. Protected by the NCUA up to $250,000, a KCFCU IRA is an excellent way to grow your funds while deferring taxes.* KCFCU offers several options from which you can choose to best fit your needs:

IRA Accounts

Traditional IRA — Offers tax-deferred earnings and the possibility for tax-deductible contributions. These tax advantages make the Traditional IRA a powerful tool in creating a balanced, long-term savings plan.

Roth IRA — Qualified distributions are tax-free, flexible withdrawal options are available and the amount you can contribute is increasing.

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (formerly known as Education IRA) — Can be opened for any child under age 18 to fund his or her educational expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment, and in some cases, computers and room and board. Earnings grow tax-free if distributions are used for qualified education expenses.

IRA Term Share Accounts

With an IRA Term Share Account from KCFCU, you get the tax advantages of a IRA Account and the higher returns of a Term Share Account. An IRA Term Share is the ideal way to enjoy the benefits of tax-deferred earnings for retirement. You can transfer funds from your Traditional, Roth or Coverdell Education Savings Account IRA to an IRA Term Share for higher earnings. The minimum balance requirement is $500 and terms are available up to five years.
