Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

Individual Retirement Accounts
An IRA is more than a savings account — it’s your income for the future. Make it a fund you can live on comfortably, by taking advantage of an account that offers real tax benefits*. An IRA from RBFCU helps you set funds aside starting now, while earning a competitive dividend above standard savings.
So whether you choose to spend your time fishing the bay, attending every Giants game, or just hanging out with your family, our IRAs will help make your dream a reality. And with two savings options — traditional or Roth — that both offer significant tax advantages*, you can’t go wrong.

Traditional vs. Roth
There are advantages to both Traditional and Roth IRAs. One of the biggest differences is the time at which you see the most advantage. A traditional IRA provides potential tax relief today, while a Roth IRA has the potential for the most tax benefit at time of retirement.

Contributions may be tax deductible
Best option when rolling over your pension or 401(k)
