Journey Well Stories

“Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats—and my bank makes it easier. When challenges came up, they stepped in fast, helped us through tough moments, and gave me real peace of mind. That kind of partnership has helped Port City Glass grow and thrive.”

IRA FAQs

What is an IRA?
An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a tax-advantaged account designed to help you save for retirement. Different IRA types offer different tax benefits.
What types of IRAs do you offer?
We offer Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs for self-employed individuals, and Coverdell ESAs for education-related savings.
How are Roth and Traditional IRAs different?
Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars and withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. Traditional IRAs may offer a tax deduction now, but withdrawals in retirement are taxed as income.
Do IRAs have required minimum distributions?
Roth IRAs do not. Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, and certain other types require distributions beginning between ages 70½ and 73, depending on the year you were born.
When can I withdraw from an IRA without penalty?
Generally, after age 59½. Certain exceptions may apply for education, first-time home purchases, or other qualifying circumstances.
Should I talk with a tax advisor before opening an IRA?
Yes. Because tax benefits vary by account type and personal situation, we recommend discussing your options with a tax professional.
