Frequently Asked Questions

Ballston Spa National Bank offers Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, and Managed IRAs. Traditional and Roth IRAs are FDIC-insured deposit accounts available with CD terms and competitive rates. Managed IRAs are professionally invested accounts offered through BSNB Wealth Management Solutions, designed for individuals who want active portfolio management as part of their retirement strategy. Managed IRAs are not FDIC-insured, are not deposits, and may lose value.

With a Traditional IRA, contributions may be tax-deductible, and withdrawals in retirement are taxed as ordinary income. With a Roth IRA, contributions are made with after-tax dollars, and qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. Roth IRAs also have no required minimum distributions (RMDs) during the account owner’s lifetime. The best choice depends on your current tax rate and what you expect in retirement. A BSNB advisor can help you decide.

Put simply, a rollover is the transfer of your funds from a former employer’s retirement plan into a new IRA. There are many things to consider when determining if a rollover is the right option given your situation. Our advisors will help you identify the advantages and disadvantages for the options available to you in addition to providing guidance on IRA rollover rules and IRA rollover time limits.  

A Managed IRA is an IRA account where your retirement assets are professionally invested and actively managed by BSNB Wealth Management Solutions advisors. Unlike a standard IRA savings or CD, which is an FDIC-insured deposit account, a managed IRA invests in a diversified portfolio tailored to your goals, timeline, and risk tolerance. It’s designed for individuals who want their retirement savings actively working in the market with professional oversight. Managed IRAs are not FDIC-insured, are not a deposit, and may lose value.

Yes. BSNB can help you roll over assets from a former employer’s retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b), into a Traditional or Managed IRA. A direct rollover moves funds from the plan directly to your BSNB IRA. Our advisors guide you through the process from start to finish. Call 518-885-6781 or visit any of our 21 BSNB branches in the Greater Capital Region to get started.

Yes. BSNB IRA deposits, including IRA CDs and IRA savings accounts, are FDIC-insured up to $250,000 per depositor, per ownership category. Managed IRA investment assets are not FDIC-insured, are not bank-guaranteed, and may lose value. Ballston Spa National Bank is a member FDIC institution.
