Launchpad Savings Account
Start saving for retirement a little at a time
Sometimes the hardest part about saving for retirement is getting started. Launchpad helps you start saving at your own pace—so you can take control of your future one small step at a time.
How it works
Get your retirement savings off the ground
A Launchpad savings account can be a great way to start saving for retirement if you aren’t ready to invest in a retirement account or don’t have access to an employer retirement plan, like a 401(k). Here’s how Launchpad works:
*You have 90 days to move the funds into a Dupaco IRA or Dupaco Financial Services IRA. The withdrawal penalty is waived if the funds are transferred to an IRA. If the funds are not moved into one of these accounts within 90 days of reaching the $1,000 balance, the account will be closed and the funds will be deposited, less a $5 fee, into your share savings account.
Rates
Make your savings grow
When you open a Launchpad account, we’ll help you save automatically with direct deposit from your paycheck. Your goal is to save $1,000 that you can use to open an IRA.
