Patriot Federal Credit Union offers several great-rate options to help you save for retirement or your child’s college education. Contributions may be deposited in “lump sums” or throughout the year by regular deposits, depending upon the type of Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, you choose. Check our current rates. The three types of IRA’s we offer online and at our branches are:

Give yourself peace of mind by setting aside money for your retirement or your child’s education. You can feel even better about your decision to choose to open your IRA at Patriot because the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) federally insures your Patriot retirement or education accounts up to $250,000, separately from your other Patriot accounts. Choosing to open an IRA at a brokerage firm or similar company means your money is not federally insured if it contains variable rate investments.
