Have you begun planning for your retirement?

The experienced professionals in our American Trust Center* are ready to assist you:

• We will look at your current and future lifestyle to determine what you'll need for retirement.

Would you like to save money for the future?

Choose the term that is best for you with a Certificate of Deposit:

• Earn a higher interest than with Regular Savings.
• Funds can be used as collateral for loans.
• Funds can be automatically renewed upon maturity to the new market rate for an equal term.

Save money on your taxes while saving for retirement with a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA):

• Saves money while making money; contributions may be tax deductible and interest earned may be tax deferred.
• Make regular contributions with automatic funds transfer and avoid extra trips to American Bank Center.

With a Roth IRA you can pay now, save later, and the entire contribution is yours at retirement:

• Interest earned is not taxed for qualified distributions.
• Contributions may be made at any age with earned income.
• No worries; pay taxes now and you or your beneficiary receives the entire IRA fund.
