Invest – Ed

  • Invest-Ed is an education savings plan with all the benefits of the new 2002 tax laws.
    • A change in the 2001 tax law has made college savings plans extremely attractive. That’s why we established Invest – Ed.
    • Invest – Ed is an education savings program that allows you to save funds for a child, grandchild, niece, nephew…even yourself…at higher than average savings account rate, earn interest tax free, withdraw funds tax free, and remain in control of the funds.
    • These plans also offer generous maximum contributions of up to $2,000 per year. This in no way limits an individual’s contribution allowance into a personal IRA.
    • Unlike some plans, our Invest – Ed donors…be they parents, grandparents, or rich uncles…retain control of the fund.
    • The donor on an Invest – Ed plan can actually change the beneficiary from one family member to another. They can even make themselves beneficiary if they have intentions of going to school some day.
    • With Invest – Ed we make savings simple. You can earn a one year certificate of deposit interest rate, open the account with a $100 deposit, and make additional deposits for as little as $25. If you choose, we can make deposits automatically from one of your accounts or from your payroll. Plus, your contributions are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

It’s hard to give a better gift than education.
Ask one of our Personal Bankers for details on which account
best fits your financial needs.

Health Savings Accounts
A smart, easy way to save!

What is a Health Savings Account (HSA)?
This account gives small businesses and individuals another way to obtain affordable health insurance coverage.  It combines a high-deductible health insurance plan with a tax-exempt savings account.

Can anyone open an HSA?
You must be younger than 65 years old and have high-deductible health coverage.

What are the benefits of HSAs?

  • More affordable
  • Deposits are tax-free
  • Investment earnings grow tax-free
  • Withdrawals are tax-free when used for medical expenses
  • They’re portable – you take your HSA with you if you change jobs
  • Available to almost anyone under a high-deductible insurance plan

The Basics of Health Savings Accounts
To learn about the basics and more, take a look at some of the very user friendly information provided by the U.S. Treasury Department at http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/public-affairs/hsa/faq_basics.shtml.
