Savings Accounts, CDs and IRAs
Whether you're putting money away for a specific reason or for the proverbial rainy day, saving is a habit that pays off. Turn to a personal savings account, CD or IRA to make the most of your money.
Savings Accounts
If you want to save money but need easy access to it, choose our personal savings account:
- Earn excellent interest rates
- Take advantage of an ATM card for fast, convenient access to your money
- Choose direct deposit for faster saving
- Save time and gain flexibility with 24/7 online and phone banking to quickly check your balance, transfer funds and access account information
- E-statements provide all-the-time access to your account information
Sterling saving account deposits are insured by the FDIC. Stop by a branch to discuss with your banker how to maximize your FDIC coverage.
CDs

- Earn high interest rates
- Receive a guaranteed yield
- Choose the term that's right for you—from 6 month to 5 years
Sterling CDs are insured by the FDIC. Stop by a branch to discuss with your banker how to maximize your FDIC coverage.
IRAs
Secure your retirement with Sterling Bank & Trust retirement accounts. Choose from a retirement savings account for liquidity or an IRA CD for higher interest.
- Save taxes now with a traditional IRA. Depending on your income level and whether you have a retirement plan at your work, your IRA is funded with pre-tax dollars.
- Save taxes later with a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax money - but your investment grows tax-free. There are no required minimum distributions, you can continue to contribute as long as you have earned income (even after age 70 1/2). Withdrawals of contributions at any time are tax-free and IRS penalty-free. Qualified withdrawals of earnings are tax-free and IRS penalty-free. (Restrictions apply. Please consult your tax advisor for details.)
- Avoid paying unnecessary taxes with an IRA Rollover. If you've recently left a job, this option may be right for you.
