Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

My Utah is an impromptu road trip
and a steady path toward retirement.

If you’re nearing retirement, you want to know your investments
are secure. Put your mind at ease by putting a portion of your
retirement savings into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

With Bank of Utah’s IRA, your investment goes into a Certificate
of Deposit (CD), a high-yield, protected account that offers solid
returns and tax benefits. If you're looking for a longer-term
solution, the CD auto-renews unless you elect to change it. The
interest you earn is added back to it, so it continues to grow.

Choose between a Traditional or Roth IRA.

An IRA can only be opened in our branches.

Features


  • Open a 6- 18- or 30-month term with a minimum of $100. Each term has its own interest rate.

  • When the term is up and your CD reaches maturity, it will automatically renew. You can also choose to move the IRA to another account.
  • As a tax-advantaged IRA, the funds must remain untouched until age 59 1/2, or you will incur early withdrawal penalties from the federal government. After you turn age 59 1/2, retirement distributions can be taken without penalty.

A Little More About Our CDs

  1. The interest rate on your account will be paid until first maturity.

  2. We use the daily balance method to calculate the interest on your account. This method applies a daily periodic rate to the principal in the account each day.

  3. Interest begins to accrue on the business day you deposit noncash items (for example, checks).

  4. Early withdrawal penalties (a penalty may be imposed for withdrawals before maturity):

    • If your account has an original maturity of less than one year, the fee we may impose will equal 91 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

    • If your account has an original maturity of one year or more, the fee we may impose will equal 182 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty.

    • If your account is a 30-day short-term CD, the fee we may impose is the greater of:

      • 7 days interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty if the withdrawal is made within the first 6 days after the deposit

      • all interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty

    In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. Other exceptions may also apply, for example, if this is part of an IRA or other tax-deferred savings plan.

  5. The annual percentage yield assumes interest will remain on deposit until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.

  6. If you prevent renewal, interest will not accrue after final maturity. Each renewal term will be the same as the original term, beginning on the maturity date. The interest rate will be the same we offer on new time deposits on the maturity date which have the same term, minimum balance (if any) and other features as the original time deposit. You will have 10 calendars days after maturity to withdraw the funds without a penalty on CDs of 31 days or greater. On our 30-day short-term CD you will have one business day to withdraw funds without a penalty.
