Planning for retirement:
Our IRA Certificates pay competitive rates and require only $1000 to open. Choose from a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Beginning savers should consider an IRA Savings account, which lets you start with as little as $25 and make deposits at any time. Once you accumulate $1000, you can roll your contributory account into a certificate for no fee.

For your protection, our IRA Certificates are insured up to $500,000 - the first $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration and the next $250,000 by American Share Insurance.

Saving for a child's education:
Coverdell Education Savings Account were formerly known as Education IRAs and are a way to save money for your child or grandchild's education. You can set up a Coverdell ESAs, in the form of either a Certificate or a Savings account. The rates are the same as for Traditional IRA or Roth IRA. Individuals may make nondeductible contributions of up to $2,000 per child. Withdrawals by the child before the age of 30 are tax and penalty-free when used for college education expenses.

Qualifying tax-free distributions include elementary and secondary school expenses such as tuition, academic tutoring, books, supplies, room and board, uniforms and transportation, as well as certain computer equipment.

We recommend you consult your tax advisor for tax-deductibility questions.

Maximize your certificate yield:
If you need to maintain liquidity, consider laddering your certificates. Laddering combines the higher yield of a long-term investment with the liquidity of a short-term investment. For example, instead of investing a $5,000 in a one-year certificate, invest $1,000 in each of five certificates ranging in term from one to five years. You will earn a higher average yield and will have a certificate mature each year. You decide whether to cash out the maturing certificate or roll the money into a five-year certificate to keep the ladder going.

Deposit Insurance:
You do your best to protect your family; we do our best to protect our members. For this reason, all deposits at CBC Federal Credit Union are insured up to $350,000. This is the highest level of deposit insurance available. The first $100,000 are insured by the National Credit Union Administration and the next $250,000 are insured by American Share Insurance. We are not required to offer the additional insurance and we feel our credit union is about as safe and sound as it could be. However, we feel that when our members trust us with their hard-earned money, they deserve the extra peace of mind that comes with additional share insurance.
