Individual Retirement Accounts are an excellent tax- sheltered savings
plan to build a financially secure future. If you are a wage earner
and under age 70-1/2, you are eligible for contributions to your IRA.
New tax legislation has enabled Link FCU to introduce the new Roth
and Education IRAs, now available to our members.
