What advantages does a Roth IRA offer?

Roth IRAs allow you to make tax-free and penalty-free withdrawals on your regular contributions at any time. Unlike a Traditional IRA, you are not required to start withdrawals at age 70½.

After the account has been open five tax years, earnings can be withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free for a variety of reasons: age 59½, disability, death, or first-time home purchase. The lifetime limit for exemption on first-time home purchase is $10,000.

Fraud Alert: Fake “unauthorized transaction” texts are circulating. We’ll never ask for your card number, PIN, or login by text or phone. Phone numbers can be spoofed—hang up and call the number on the back of your debit card to verify.
