Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
All Tech CU Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) require a $25.00 initial deposit to open. There are no set-up or annual maintenance fees. Up to $250,000 of federal deposit insurance is provided through the National Credit Union Administration. Consult your accountant, attorney, tax or financial advisor with regard to your eligibility and personal contribution and distribution restrictions. Tax guidelines are available from the Internal Revenue Service at http://www.irs.gov/.
Traditional & Spousal IRA

Rollover IRA

Roth Conversion IRA
