BUILD YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) from LAPFCU helps you save for retirement with valuable tax advantages and competitive earnings. 

Choose an IRA for every stage of your career. Start saving as you enter law enforcement. Build retirement income beyond your pension. Prepare for retirement or life after public service.

LAPFCU IRA accounts are available to all members, including family.

TRADITIONAL IRA: A traditional IRA offers tax-deferred growth and potential tax deductions on contributions. Withdrawals are usually taxed as ordinary income.
