When it comes to planning and saving for the future, we're here to help make our members' aspirations possible by offering several IRA accounts that can be used towards retirement, investment, education or healthcare goals.
An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) can be opened or contributed to at any time of the year, not just at tax time. You can also roll over your 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan from your previous employer to a WyHy IRA, all the while keeping the great tax advantages.* (Tax- and penalty-free when rolling over into a Traditional IRA.)

SEP IRA
A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRA allows self-employed persons and businesses to make contributions to owners' and employees' traditional IRAs. Contributions are deductible from income in the year paid, or for the prior year, up until the tax return deadline. Contact us to learn more.
Health Savings Account
Set money aside to pay for medical expenses with a Health Saving Account from WyHy. A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that provides an alternative to traditional health insurance and a different way to pay for and save for future healthcare needs.
WyHy HSA Benefits:
-
No minimum to open
-
No minimum balance to earn 0.05% APY*
-
Dividends are compounded and paid quarterly
-
Save money to pay high or unexpected medical bills
-
Contributions accumulate year-over-year, there is not a "use it or lose it" provision like a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
-
You decided how much to contribute, within federal regulated guidelines, and when to use funds or save them for the future
-
The account goes where you go, regardless of any job changes
Using Your Health Savings Account
Withdrawals from HSAs are tax-free if the funds are used exclusively for paying or reimbursing qualified medical expenses. Qualified expenses are those incurred after the HSA is opened and include such things as doctor visits, prescription drugs and more!
Ask your Employer or Health Insurance Company if your health insurance plan makes you eligible to open and make contributions to a HSA. Then contact us to learn about WyHy's HSA account and how to open yours.
