We’re here to help. Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about our credit union investment services, including how to open an account and maximize earnings.
A Money Market Account allows members to earn higher dividends while keeping their funds accessible. With tiered interest rates, members can earn more as they save more. These accounts also offer federal insurance through the NCUA and provide a flexible investment strategy without exposure to market risk.
A Share Certificate Account is a fixed-term investment offering guaranteed dividends. Members select a term length between 3 months and 5 years, securing a higher dividend rate compared to traditional savings accounts. These accounts are federally insured, providing a safe and stable investment option.
A Traditional IRA offers tax-deductible contributions, lowering taxable income, but withdrawals in retirement are taxed. A Roth IRA, funded with after-tax dollars, allows for tax-free withdrawals in retirement, making it ideal for those expecting higher future tax rates.
Money Market Accounts allow penalty-free withdrawals, while Share Certificates may incur early withdrawal penalties. IRAs follow specific IRS guidelines, with Traditional IRAs typically imposing a 10% penalty for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception applies.
Opening an investment account is easy and can be done online, over the phone, or in person at our Aurora, CO branch. Our investment representatives will help you select the right account, from Money Market Accounts to IRAs, ensuring it aligns with your long-term financial goals.
A diversified portfolio helps members balance investment risk while maximizing returns. Members can combine Money Market Accounts for liquidity, Share Certificates for stable growth, and IRAs for long-term retirement planning. Our investment professionals can help members build a strategy that aligns with their financial future.
