Touchstone FCU’s club accounts are ideal for planning for annual expenses. We offer both holiday club accounts and all purpose club accounts. Direct a weekly payroll deduction to your club account to save for the holidays, your next vacation, or annual tax or insurance bills.

Holiday Club Accounts
Holiday club accounts require no minimum balance, and contributions and can be made by payroll deduction, mail, TouchTone Teller, or touchstone@home. Funds are transferred to your share account the first week in October. Deductions may start anytime during the year.

Contact Member Services for more information or apply online.

All Purpose Club Accounts
All purpose club accounts require no minimum balance, and contributions and can be made by payroll deduction, mail, TouchTone Teller, or touchstone@home. You may make withdrawals up to four times a year. Members use all purpose club accounts to save for tax bills, vacations and other expenses.

Plan for the Future with an IRA
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a smart way to plan for retirement, education and home ownership. Touchstone FCU offers both Traditional and Roth IRAs. You pay no annual fees, and IRAs are insured by the National Credit Union Administration for up to $100,000.

Benefits of a Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA lets you reduce your taxable income while saving for retirement. Your contributions are fully or partially tax-deductible, depending on your income and tax-filing status. For 2009, the maximum contribution is $5,000 for individuals under age 50 and $6,000 for individuals who turn age 50 and above before 2010. The earnings grow tax-free until withdrawal.

Benefits of a Roth IRA
With a Roth IRA, your contributions are not tax deductible, but you may withdraw contributions tax-free at any time. Your earnings grow tax-free, and you may withdraw interest earned free of any taxes and penalties if you hold the account for five years and are buying your first home, or if you are 59 1/2.
