An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a special savings plan authorized by the federal government to help you accumulate retirement or education funds. IRA accounts offer special tax-saving incentives for qualified individuals (consult your tax adviser regarding your specific situation). The IRA accounts at Banner Federal Credit Union are federally insured separately from other savings accounts up to $250,000 by the NCUA. IRA accounts typically earn higher rates of return than regular share savings accounts.
