Sound Investment Solutions

One of the things the recent economic challenges have reminded us is that it is important to save for the future, and it is essential to do so safely and securely. Greater Cincinnati Credit Union offers a variety of sound investment solutions to help you prepare for tomorrow, today.

  • Traditional IRAs – These IRA plans are the original, but their annual contribution limits have increased to $5,000 annually with an additional $1,000 allowed for people aged 50 and over as a “catch-up” allowance.  Generally, amounts in your IRA, including earnings, are not taxed until they are distributed.
  • Roth IRAs – Contribution amounts for a Roth IRA are the same as the Traditional variety, but an important difference is that your earnings grow tax-free if certain qualifications are met. Your contributions are non-deductible, but a tax-free withdrawal of earnings at retirement is an amazing benefit.
  • Coverdell Education IRAs – Save money for your child's education on a tax-favored basis with a Coverdell Education IRA. These IRAs now have increased contribution limits of $2,000. Tax on earnings is deferred until the funds are withdrawn, and if used for qualified education purposes, the entire withdrawal may be tax-free. (Contact your tax advisor for more details.)
  • Health Savings Account (HSA) – HSAs are tax-favored accounts that are similar to an IRA. They are owned by an individual and contributions to the account are used to pay for current and future medical expenses. These funds can be withdrawn to pay for the qualified medical expenses of yourself, your spouse or a dependent without tax penalty. The Credit Union offers two types of HSA accounts: certificates of deposit and a no fee, interest-earning account with a debit card.
