Important Information About
Procedures
for Opening a New Account
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying objects. FCCCU Offers A Wide Variety
Of Savings Products.
The first account you open when joining First Coast is called a Savings (Share) Account because you become a part owner of our cooperative association. We also offer other high interest bearing accounts to satisfy your personal saving and investment plans.
Savings Accounts
This is the first account every member must open to begin their membership with the credit union. Earn dividends and watch your money grow as you continue to save. You can also combine some of our other services with your Savings Account, such as Direct Deposit and Payroll Deduction. See the credit union for complete details.
- $25 minimum balance
- Competitive dividend rates
- Monthly payment of dividends
Certificates of Deposit
One of the best investments to consider is a credit union Certificate. They pay a high-yield, are federally insured and can provide you with a worry-free investment. You can get started with as little as $1,000 and enjoy terms ranging from 6 to 60 months. Dividends are compounded and credited monthly.
- $1,000 minimum balance on Certificates
- Terms 6 months to 5 years
- Competitive interest rates
- Monthly payment of dividends
- Use funds as collateral for Certificate Secured Loans
- Minimal early withdrawal penalties may apply which may
reduce earnings.
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
Your credit union offers a full range of IRA options that allow you to save money to supplement your pension or Social Security benefits.
- Traditional IRA – Today’s IRAs offer higher contribution limits and the amount you can contribute will continue to increase. There is also a catch-up provision for members age 50 and over. You may be eligible to deduct up to a certain amount of your contribution on your tax return. Withdrawals are permitted at age 59 1/2, and are taxed as ordinary income.
- Roth IRA – Your maximum contribution is not tax-deductible, but all future withdrawals are tax-free and penalty-free if the account has been open for five years and you are 59 1/2 or older, or if you are buying your first house (up to $10,000) or paying for higher education. You can also convert all or part of a Roth IRA if your combined income is $100,000 or less in the year of conversion. The amount you convert is taxed as ordinary income. There are no conversion or penalty fees.
- Educational IRA – Parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, and even minors (with earned income) can set up an account for any designated beneficiary under age 18. In addition to using the money for eligible college and trade school expenses, public and private elementary and high schools are now included. You can contribute up to $2,000 each year. The contributions to this account do not count toward your IRA contributions, so you can save for a child’s education and maximize your own IRA every tax year.
