IRA (Traditional, Roth, SEP) as the type of IRA certificate you’d like

Ensure that you have a minimum balance of $1,000 or the amount you
would like to open the IRA certificate for. The IRA certificate funds
will come from the IRA savings available balance. If you are using one
of the rollover or transfer forms available on the funding step in
Online Banking, you must mail the check and the rollover or transfer
forms to Alliant. Contact us via secure message within online banking
to request instructions on sending in forms via secure email..
Once you have opened your IRA savings account and have available
funds, call Alliant at 800-328-1935 to open your IRA certificate.
Dividends will post to the certificate monthly, on the last day of the month and at maturity. Dividends earned on your certificate will appear on your monthly statement.
1. Suze Orman November 2026 Certificate Promotion Terms and Conditions
For the avoidance of doubt, only current Alliant Credit Union members identified within the selected audience opening a certificate through MyAlliant.com and new Alliant Credit Union members joining through MyAlliant.com are eligible for this promotion. Offer is non-transferable.
Through this promotion, eligible members qualify for an elevated Annual Percentage Yield (APY). New 12-month Regular Share Certificates will receive a 4.45% APY and new 12-month Jumbo Share Certificates will receive a 4.50% APY. New 36-month or 60-month Regular Share Certificates will receive a 5.00% APY and new 36-month or 60-month Jumbo Share Certificates will receive a 5.05% APY. To qualify for the promotion, the following requirements must be met:
• Open a new Alliant Credit Union 12-month, 36-month, or 60-month Regular Share Certificate, or a 12-month, 36-month, or 60-month Jumbo Share Certificate between October 30, 2026, and November 30, 2026.
• A $1,000.00 minimum deposit is required to open a Regular Alliant Share Certificate and/or a $75,000 minimum deposit is required to open an Alliant Jumbo Share Certificate.

If you open an Alliant 12-month, 36-month, or 60-month Jumbo Share Certificate with a minimum deposit of $75,000 but later withdraw funds from the account and bring the balance below $75,000, the Alliant Jumbo Share Certificate will convert to a Regular Alliant Share Certificate, which will pay a lower rate of 4.45% APY for the 12-month certificate or 5.00% APY for the 36-month and 60-month certificates.
