Individual Retirement Account [IRA]

Traditional, Roth, and Coverdell ESA accounts are available for your future saving goals. IRA contributions may be tax deductible or tax deferred (ask your Tax Advisor for information). Dividends are paid quarterly.

Important Member Notice:

Mountain Credit Union wanted to make IRA account owners aware of a change in the IRS interpretation of an IRA Rollover rule that took effect on January 1, 2015 that may affect you!  Before 2015, IRA owners were allowed to do one IRA-to-IRA rollover per IRA that they owned.  Now, you are allowed only one tax-free IRA rollover within a 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs you own.  As an alternative to rollovers, you can request an unlimited number of Trustee-to-Trustee Transfers.  We have a brochure available, upon request, that can help you understand the differences in an IRA Transfer and an IRA Rollover.  Please call us and we’ll be glad to help you with your transfer or rollover needs!

Health Savings Accounts

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account that you can put money into to save for future medical expenses. You control this money, deciding how to spend it on your health care needs. An HSA is not a flexible spending account. The balance at the end of the year is carried over to the next year. Whatever you don’t spend is yours to keep. At Mountain Credit Union, we want to give you more flexibility and control over your health care costs. A Health Savings Account (HSA) empowers you to make your own health care decisions and take advantage of tax benefits while you save for medical expenses.

Share Certificate Accounts

Mountain Credit Union offers certificates with terms of 6 , 12, 18, 24, and 36 months and minimum balances of $2,500. Funds withdrawn before the maturity date of the certificate are subject to a penalty of the loss of 90 days of interest*. 

*How the Penalty Works: The penalty is calculated as a forfeiture of part of the dividends that have been or would be earned on the account. It applies whether or not the dividends have been earned. In other words, if the account has not yet earned enough dividends or if the dividends have already been paid, the penalty will be deducted from the principal.
