IRAs

Traditional IRA

A Traditional IRA is a smart way to save for your future. You can open and fund one on your own. No employer participation is needed.

  • Tax Benefits: Contributions and earnings grow tax-deferred until retirement.

  • Access to Funds: You can access your money at any time, but early withdrawals (before age 59½) usually come with a 10% IRS penalty—unless you qualify for an exception, such as:

    • Disability

    • Qualified education expenses

    • Unemployment

    • First-time home purchase

    • Death

    • Taking equal payments over your lifetime

Metro Medical Credit Union IRA Options:

  • IRA Share Savings Account

    • Earns interest quarterly

    • Minimum deposit: $25

  • IRA Certificates (CDs)

    • Terms from 1 to 5 years

    • Minimum deposit: $1,000

All IRA accounts are insured up to $250,000, separate from your other deposits at the credit union.

Roth IRA

A Roth IRA works a little differently than a Traditional IRA.

  • Taxed Upfront: You contribute money that’s already been taxed.

  • Tax-Free Growth: Earnings are tax-free if the account has been open for 5 years and withdrawals are made for a qualified reason, such as:

    • Reaching age 59½

    • Disability

    • Death

    • First-time home purchase

Your contributions still grow tax-deferred, just like a Traditional IRA.

Contribution Limits (2025)

  • Up to $7,000 per year

  • If you're age 50 or older by year-end, you can contribute up to $8,000

Note: Your actual contribution may depend on your income. Be sure to check with your tax professional for specific advice.


Savings Certificates (Regular and IRA)

Our Regular Savings Certificate, also known as a Certificate of Deposit (CD), lets you save at a fixed interest rate for a set period that fits your financial goals.

CD highlights include:

  • Open with as little as $1,000

  • Terms range from 6 to 24 months

  • Can also be used for IRAs with terms from 1 to 5 years

Benefits:

  • Guaranteed, fixed dividend rate for the full term

  • Competitive interest rates


Federal Insurance

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) provides insurance coverage of up to at least $250,000 for your Credit Union account(s). To learn more about the type of accounts and the total amounts that the NCUA may insure, visit NCUA.

IRA Accounts are insured up to $250,000 separately from any other deposits you may have at the credit union.
