To establish an account, send a message through online banking, stop by the branch or give us a call and we will provide you with the necessary IRA account paperwork. You must be a NYU FCU member to set up the account.

The purpose of an IRA is to save for retirement, so this tax-advantaged savings vehicle is specifically designed to discourage investors from withdrawing funds before turning age 59½. If you do so, the IRS imposes a 10 percent penalty on top of the income taxes you pay on the withdrawal. There are some exceptions that allow early withdrawal without penalty, so please speak with a tax professional for more details

Yes. There are no income limits to make contributions to a traditional IRA. Your ability to make deductions may be affected by filing status and your participation in an employer retirement plan.

You must begin to annually withdraw a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA once you turn 70½ years of age. RMD guidelines, set by the IRS, ensure that investors don't use an IRA as a permanent shelter from income taxes.

Yes. There are specific rules and forms to ensure that your IRA funds are dispersed to your intended beneficiary, in case of death. You can use the Individual Retirement Account Beneficiary Designation/Change form to select your beneficiary.

Yes. Effective January 1, 2015, the IRS imposed the new IRA Rollover rule which stipulates that an IRA owner may complete only one IRA-to-IRA rollover per 365 days, regardless of how many IRAs you own, without differentiating between Traditional, Roth and SEP IRAs. This change of only one rollover per year will only affect rollovers, and will not have any impact on trustee-to-trustee transfers. The once-per-365-day rule does not apply to the direct rollover of 401(k) funds to a Traditional IRA.

No, there are no prepayment penalties.

The only loan type that has a $25 application fee is the Quick Cash Loan. All other loan types do not require a fee.

While you can apply for a loan as often as you'd like, please keep in mind that each new application requires a new credit report (unless you are submitting more than one application within 30 days of our last credit pull - in that case, we will use the same credit report for the new application). When we pull new credit report, you will have a new inquiry added, which can cause your credit score to decrease. With that said, we suggest only applying when it is necessary.

Your personal loan funds will be made available in your Shares (savings) account. You can access the funds by: Visiting an NYU FCU Branch to pick up a check. Accessing your funds at an ATM. Check out the Account Access options. Set up an External Account Transfer Initiate a Wire Transfer

Once your loan is finalized, the companies of the debts that have been consolidated will be sent checks by USPS mail. This can take 3 or more weeks to arrive and post to your account. Due to this delay, we advise that if a payment is upcoming and due, that you make the payment. Once the checks are received, the companies will most likely refund any overpayments made to the debts.

Principal-only payments can only be made by a representative. If you are transferring money from an external account, transfer the funds into your shares account. Then, send a secure message requesting to have a principal-only payment made to your loan.

At closing, you will be notified whether your loan will be serviced at NYU FCU, or with our partner, UNFCU. If your loan is being serviced at NYU FCU, you will make payments at NYU FCU.
