Annuities are designed as principal preserving, long term investments, which
can provide funds for retirement. We offer both a non-qualified annuity and
qualified Traditional and ROTH IRA annuities. Our no-load annuities are tax-deferred
(funds are taxable only at the time of withdrawal), and they carry a five year
penalty period, amongst the lowest in the industry.

Flexible Premium Deferred Annuity
- Annuitant accumulates
funds with interest which is compounded daily. Ongoing deposits are permitted,
and may be made via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
- Minimum deposit
is $25.00.
- Our competitive interest rates are reviewed by the Board
of Directors on a quarterly basis. Rates may be adjusted, but will never
go below the guaranteed minimum rate established by the annuity contract.
- Prior
to settlement, annuitant may withdraw all or part of the accumulated funds,
subject to the Association's Early Withdrawal Penalty.*
- During
the first five years, free withdrawal of up to 10% of the current account
value is permitted once per contract year. Additional withdrawals are subject
to an Early Withdrawal Penalty, which is 5% the 1st year, and decreases by
1% each subsequent year.*
- At any age, the annuitant may receive
interest only payments, or select a type of periodic payment offered by the
Association.*
- If annuitant dies prior to settlement, funds on deposit
are payable directly to the named beneficiary(ies).
* Since annuities are considered retirement accounts, withdrawals taken prior
to age 59-1/2 may be subject to 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty by the IRS.
Single Premium Immediate Annuity
- Uses annuitant's initial large
premium deposit as the basis for immediate contracted settlement payments.
- Annuitant
is "locked in" to the settlement option, payment
amount, payment scheduled selected, and rate in effect for settlements at
time of commencement.
- Scheduled payments may be sent directly to
annuitant's bank
account via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
- Minimum deposit is $2,000.00.
- Generally, if annuitant dies prior
to receiving all guaranteed payments, the remaining present value of such
guaranteed payments is payable to the named beneficiary(ies).
