Opening an IRA Certificate or Accumulator Savings account with GenFed can help you earn more! If you don’t have enough saved up for the $1,000 minimum for a certificate, open our new IRA Accumulator account that allows you to put aside a smaller amount each week or month until you have enough saved to be able to open an account.
Call or visit your local branch to open an IRA account or learn more.
