The Coronavirus pandemic has not only had a dramatic health impact, but also an economic blow as many Americans are now unemployed — and uninsured. 

You've spent your whole life creating a stable future, and we're here to protect your hard work from any financial difficulties. We're constructed rewarding CDs and IRAs to not only protect your future but to help it grow.

Consider investing in a CD or IRA.

Both a CD and IRA are interest-earning, non-transactional accounts.1 A CD allows you to save over a set time with a set rate. It's a great tool when planning future events such as a wedding or vacation. An IRA is a tax-advantaged2 way to save money for your retirement. Benefits include:

Certificate of Deposit (CD)

  • Maturity terms of 90 days to 4 years
  • Competitive interest rates3
  • Interest calculated using daily balance method

Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

  • Maturity terms of 12, 18 or 24 months
  • Competitive interest rates4
  • Interest calculated using daily balance method

It's time to invest in your future. Contact your local servicing officer today.

1 Early withdrawal penalty applies.

2 Consult with your tax advisor.

3 CD interest rates based on maturity term and principal amount.

4 IRA interest rates based on maturity term.
