What is an IRA Certificate of Deposit at People Driven Credit Union?
An IRA CD works similarly to a regular CD. Your initial investment earns a fixed interest rate over a set timeframe and renews automatically.
What is an IRA Certificate of Deposit?
An IRA CD combines the security and predictable returns of a traditional Certificate of Deposit with the powerful tax benefits of an Individual Retirement Account.
How an IRA CD Works
You deposit a lump sum for a fixed term (typically 6 to 60 months). The money earns a guaranteed interest rate that is often higher the more you invest. At the end of the term, the CD renews automatically unless you instruct us otherwise. You only pay taxes on the earnings when you withdraw the money in retirement.
Traditional vs Roth IRA CD
Choose a Traditional IRA CD to deduct contributions now and pay taxes later, or a Roth IRA CD to pay taxes upfront and enjoy tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement. Both options protect your savings while you earn competitive rates.
