Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
There's no time like the present to begin preparing for your future.
Accomplish this by opening an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) with
the Bank of Denver. When possible, make deposits with NO restrictions.
Your IRA also incurs NO monthly Service Fees. Because funds are invested
in a long-term Certificate of Deposit, the best rate possible is obtained
and in many cases is better than a regular Certificate of Deposit. With
IRAs, guidelines established in accordance with Internal Revenue Service
rules apply; i.e. age limit to deposit funds, age limit to withdraw funds
and contribution amounts. Current contribution limits for Traditional
and Roth IRAs are:
| Year |
Under Age 50 |
Over Age 50 |
| 2008 |
$5,000.00 |
$6,000.00 |
| 2009 |
$5,000.00 |
$6,000.00 |
| 2010 |
$5,000.00 |
$6,000.00 |
Annual contribution limits for Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs and Simple IRAs are greater and are primarily dependent on an individual's income. The annual contribution limit for Coverdell Savings Accounts (formerly Education IRAs) is $2,000.
