Individual Retirement Accounts
Reach your retirement savings goals with an IRA account that gives back and offers tax benefits to those who qualify.
How to Get Started?
The Traditional and Roth IRAs offered by RiverWood Bank are just a few of the options available to you. They differ primarily in how and when your money is taxed. With a Traditional IRA, the tax advantage is that your contributions are tax-deductible in the year they are made. On the other hand, a Roth IRA offers the benefit of tax-free withdrawals during retirement. In addition to these, we also offer other types of IRAs. To determine the best IRA option for you and to check your eligibility, we recommend consulting with a knowledgeable RiverWood Banker, as the IRS has specific rules that must be followed. It's also advisable to seek guidance from a tax advisor for further assistance.
