CDs & IRAs

It's a fast-paced world and instant results are often the expectation. But if you've heard the saying, "good things come to those who wait," we think you'll like these forward-looking financial strategies.

Want your money to grow? Just give it some time.

Certificate of Deposit (CD)
In life, there are very few sure things. In financial circles, there are fewer still. But a Certificate of Deposit1 is an exception. It's a savings product that features higher interest rates than most traditional savings accounts. You lock into that higher rate on day one. And when the term amount matures - six months, five years or somewhere in between - you'll have the satisfaction of a secure investment, ready to meet your financial goals.

Multi-Million Dollar FDIC Insurance Coverage

If you plan to invest a lot of money in CDs, you definitely want to know about the CDARs system. It allows you to deal exclusively with AbbyBank, but we disperse your funds over a nationwide network of qualified financial institutions so that you enjoy maximum FDIC coverage. Learn more about our CDARS program.

Start saving now so you can kick back and relax later.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
You work hard. But when retirement comes, you plan to enjoy life to the fullest. Bucket-list adventures. New hobbies and old friends. Grandkids, gardening and getting involved in the community. The best way to secure the financial freedom for your retirement dreams is to start planning well ahead of time. That's where tax-advantaged Traditional and Roth IRAs2 come in.
  • A good supplement to your 401(k) plan or company pension.
  • Contribute up to $7,000 per year ($8,000 if over age 50).3
  • With Traditional IRAs, you may be able to take a tax deduction every year you make a contribution.
  • With Roth IRAs, all qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
  • With Traditional IRAs, all interest earnings are tax-exempt until distribution.
  • With Roth IRAs, all qualified interest earnings are tax-exempt.
  • For more information on IRAs and their benefits, talk with an AbbyBank Personal Banker or your financial advisor.

Smart financial planning is a win-win for both parents and their kids.

Common Questions

The biggest difference between a CD and an IRA is the length of time you plan to have the investment. CDs are a savings tool with specific term investment options.  Penalties may apply if you break the term agreement of a CD.  IRAs are a tax incentive savings tool for working individuals with earned income and invested until retirement.

A Traditional IRA can reduce the taxable income each year a contribution is made.  A Roth IRA does not reduce the taxable income; however, it can provide tax advantages at the time of withdrawal. IRAs are a tool to supplement social security income at retirement.

Generally, a Traditional IRA is tax deductible for the tax year designated. Earnings are tax deferred until a withdrawal is made. Distributions are added as regular income. Roth IRA contributions are usually nondeductible. Interest earned is also tax deferred and can be tax free if you withdraw after age 59 ½ and have had the Roth IRA for at least five years. The Roth IRA does not have a mandatory distribution. Both types of IRAs do have specific income qualifications. Try our free Traditional and Roth IRA calculators to help you determine which one is the best fit for your needs. 




Yes, tax laws change every year. View our chart above for the most current contribution guidelines.  Withdrawals before age 59 ½ may incur an IRS early withdrawal 10% tax penalty. Traditional IRAs require an annual minimum distribution starting at age 72. Special circumstances have been established for early distribution, such as, first time home purchase, education expenses, medical expenses, health insurance after unemployment, IRS levy and death. 
Laddering your Certificates of Deposit (CDs) allows you to space out (or ladder) the maturity dates so you can have a mix of maturity dates and rates. In a low-rate environment, you may be hesitant to put all your funds in a 5-year CD just to get the highest rate. Instead, you could put some funds in a 12-month CD, some in 24 months, 36 months, 48 months, and 60 months. Then, when the 12-month CD matures, you reinvest that for 60 months so you can get the highest rate. When the 24-month CD matures, you reinvest that for 60 months for the highest rate, etc. Eventually, each year when a 60-month CD matures, you can reinvest it for another 60 months and always get the highest rate offered, yet still have some of your funds maturing each year. You can also try our free CD ladder calculator that shows you the benefits of investing in a series of Certificates of Deposit with different maturities vs. a single long-term CD.
