You work hard for your money. Now, take some of those hard-earned funds and build your nest egg. Open the best savings account or other savings option (such as a CD or IRA), and save up for something special, or for an emergency. Don't forget to teach your kids the value of saving, too.

Here's where you'll match your savings to your dreams. Find the savings account, certificate of deposit (CD) or bank IRA option that best fits how much money you have to save, how much interest you'd like to earn, and how easily and frequently you'd like to be able to access your funds. With all the banking options at Bell, you can check out the savings account rates, minimum balance requirements, and low maintenance fees – then choose the one that will help you reach your goal.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

An IRA can be a low-risk investment for retirement, with several tax advantages. Our bank IRAs have terms ranging from 1 month to 5 years.

Bank IRA rates correspond to our regular certificate of deposit (CD) rates. Contributions may be added to variable rate IRAs at any time.

Features & Benefits

No annual fees, commissions or hidden charges
No risk – FDIC insured up to $250,000
Tax-deferred earnings – so your money grows faster
Trade up – after age 59 1/2, you may trade up to a higher rate once a year
Your retirement funds stay local

In most cases, you can't withdraw the money from an IRA without penalty until you reach the age of 59 1/2. CD-funded IRAs offer stable investment opportunities, and all bank IRAs are FDIC insured. Consult your tax advisor to see if one is right for you.
