help Ally Bank IRA FAQ
Does Ally offer both bank IRA products and brokerage IRAs?
Yes. Ally Bank offers IRA savings and IRA CD products, while Ally Invest offers self-directed and managed investment IRAs holding securities such as stocks and ETFs.
Can an Ally IRA be opened as either a Traditional or Roth account?
Ally supports Traditional, Roth and SEP IRA options, although availability depends on whether the customer chooses an Ally Bank deposit product or an Ally Invest account. Traditional and Roth accounts have different tax treatment and IRS eligibility rules.
Does Ally Invest charge an annual IRA maintenance fee?
Ally's published fee schedule lists a $0 annual IRA fee. It separately lists a $25 IRA closure fee and a $50 IRA transfer fee, so moving or closing the account can still cost money.
Are Ally IRA investments FDIC-insured?
Ally Bank IRA savings accounts and eligible IRA CDs receive FDIC coverage within applicable limits. Stocks, bonds and ETFs held through Ally Invest are securities, so they are not FDIC-insured and can lose value.
