Helping You Save for the Future

Astra Bank offers several options to help you prepare for your future financial needs, including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These offer several tax advantages, but be sure to check with your tax advisor for eligibility, as tax rules are often complicated and can change. Before making any investments, you should consult with your tax advisor.

Traditional IRAs

There are important tax advantages with a Traditional IRA, as your contributions are tax-deductible and your earnings grow tax-deferred. Regardless of your income level, a traditional IRA is fully deductible if you (or your spouse, if applicable) are not actively participating in a retirement plan at work.

Roth IRAs

While contributions are not tax-deductible with a Roth IRA, a Roth can provide tax-free earnings and tax-free withdrawals. You can withdraw contributions at any time, penalty free and tax free and if certain conditions are met, earnings may be withdrawn tax- and penalty-free, as well.

Rollover IRAs

Your workplace retirement plan can still continue to work for you when you retire or change employers by rolling over qualified retirement money into an IRA at Astra Bank. Many people choose to roll their workplace plans into an IRA, and a direct rollover eliminates the required tax withholding and preserves the special tax status for many years.

Our Consumer Investments Department can help you if you need professional investment management for your rollover IRA. Call us now to set up an appointment.

SEP/Simple IRAs

Without the expense of a traditional retirement account, SEP/SIMPLE IRAs are a low cost alternative for sole proprietors, partnerships or corporations to set aside money in retirement accounts for themselves and their employees. Call us today for assistance.
