IRAs

An IRA is an excellent foundation for your retirement nest egg. The earlier you begin planning for your retirement, the more money you’ll have to fulfill your dreams. And your contributions may be tax-deductible. (Ask your tax advisor.)

BankCherokee offers Traditional, Roth, and Education IRAs with a variety of yields and maturities. Remember, you can still contribute to an IRA even if you participate in an employer or government-sponsored retirement plan, as long as you earn income.

With few exceptions, funds deposited in an IRA may not be withdrawn before retirement age without incurring penalties. Contact us today and we will work with you to find the best IRA to fit your needs.

++ Account will revert to Statement Savings Account at age 18.

+++ Some ATM machines may impose an additional ATM transaction fee unrelated to our accounts. This charge will be assessed on your account
