CDs & IRAs

Certificates of deposit (CDs)

CDs typically earn better interest rates than traditional savings accounts and money markets. Get started with either a $500.00 or $5,000.00 opening deposit; rates of standard CDs are tiered based on the balance.

Interest is compounded daily. All CDs can be viewed from Online Banking, and Mobile Banking.

Individual retirement accounts (IRAs)

If you are looking for an easy way to start saving for retirement, our simple IRAs, Roth IRAs and SEPs will put you on the right path. Because our IRAs all feature fixed rates, they don’t fluctuate with the sometimes-volatile stock market.

Rates of standard IRAs are tiered based on the balance — from $500.00 to $5,000.00.  Interest is compounded daily and posted every quarter.

Our team is happy to answer any questions before you begin or even if you’re well on your way. You can also use Online Banking, Mobile Banking and Telephone Banking to monitor your IRA.
