Take charge of your retirement

An individual retirement account (IRA) is an investment tool that enables you to set aside some of your earnings towards retirement with tax-free growth, or on a tax-deferred basis. Opening an IRA is one of the best decisions you can make since the tax benefits allow your savings to grow, or compound, more quickly than in a taxable account.

TDECU offers both Traditional and Roth IRAs, which offer different tax advantages. To provide even more flexibility, we also offer a Savings IRA, IRA Certificates of Deposit, and investment IRAs through our investments team.

Please consult your tax and legal advisors to determine how this information may apply to your own situation. Whether any planned tax result is realized by you depends on the specific facts of your own situation at the time your tax return is filed.
