Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs)

ESA accounts are a great way to begin saving money for a child’s education expenses.

• The designated beneficiary must be an individual under the age of 18. The age-18 limitation will not apply to any designated beneficiary with special needs.
• Annual contributions to Coverdell ESAs cannot exceed $2,000 per student per calendar year. This applies even when a student has more than one account – you can still only deposit a total of $2,000 across all of the accounts.

IRA Share Certificates are also available.

Your peace of mind is worth saving for. Certificates of Deposits and IRAs are often an important piece of a sound savings strategy. Certificates require that funds remain in the account for a period of time, and, in return, they pay a higher dividend rate than other savings accounts. Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are a key tax management and saving strategy for retirement and future planning.

Each member’s account is insured to at least $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency of the Federal Government. All Individual Retirement Accounts are separately insured to $250,000 by the NCUA.
