Welcome to the new and improved mazuma.org!
We’ve made it easier than ever to access your accounts, find the product and service information you need, and connect with resources to achieve your financial goals.
Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) are tax-advantaged investment accounts that provide a convenient way to prepare for your financial future. Our IRA options are designed to make retirement savings accessible, convenient, and painless, with unique benefits that allow you to tailor your savings strategy to fit your financial goals.
Your pre-tax contributions can add up quickly, so start saving early and often to maximize your benefits! Your contributions may be tax-deductible, lowering your taxable income for an immediate tax benefit. Traditional IRAs offer tax-deferred growth, so you won’t need to pay taxes on your funds until you withdraw them.
IRAs can be complicated and are governed by the IRS. We aren’t tax advisors, but we can help you navigate the process.

When you bank with Mazuma Credit Union, you’re not just investing in your own financial future – you’re becoming part of something bigger! As a not-for-profit, Member-owned financial institution, we’re committed to improving the lives of our Members and our community.
IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) are tax-advantaged investment accounts that provide a convenient way to prepare for your financial future. Think of it as a long-term investment that can help you reach your financial goals.
We offer 3 different types of IRAs: Traditional, Roth, and Educational. Explore these IRAs in more detail here.
A Traditional IRA offers the opportunity for your earnings to grow tax-deferred until they are withdrawn in retirement. A traditional IRA is a good choice if you’re eligible to make tax-deductible contributions and expect your tax rate during retirement to be lower than it is today (because that’s when you’ll be paying taxes).
A Roth IRA provides the opportunity for your earnings to grow tax-free. A Roth IRA may be appropriate if you expect your tax rate to be the same as it is today or higher during retirement. Generally, Roth IRAs offer greater tax savings and withdrawal flexibility than traditional IRAs, but they’re both limited by IRS regulations.
You can compare both IRA’s and learn which will be the best fit for you here.
In 2025, you can contribute up to $7,000 per year ($8,000 per year for age 50 and over).
Generally, you can start withdrawing without a penalty after you turn 59 ½. But remember, you'll still have to pay taxes on the money you take out.
If you withdraw money before you're 59 ½, you'll usually have to pay a 10% penalty on top of the taxes. There are a few exceptions, like if you need the money for a house or a big medical expense.
It's always a good idea to talk to a financial advisor to make sure you understand the rules and avoid any penalties.
Opening an IRA with Mazuma is so easy! You can open one online here or in person at one of our branch locations.
Yes, you can roll over an existing retirement account into an IRA. This is a common strategy to consolidate your retirement savings and potentially gain more investment options. Visit us at one of our branch locations or call us at 913.574.5000 to get started.
