IRA vs. 401K

An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a tax-advantaged investment account that can help you save for retirement. It typically takes just 15 minutes to open an account. When you roll over your old retirement account into an IRA, you can preserve the tax-deferred status of your retirement assets without paying current taxes or early withdrawal penalties at the time of transfer. You can open a new account and rollover other IRAs or a former employer 401K to take advantage of these large bonus opening offers.

Some advantages of rolling over your former employer 401K into an IRA account:

  • IRAs typically have lower fees than 401Ks.

  • IRAs have far more investment choices. The average 401K has about 20 investment options while IRAs have thousands of investment options including CDs, treasury bills, bonds, money market funds, mutual funds, stocks, ETFs, and index funds.

  • Several IRAs offer a signup bonus when opening a new account as a new customer.

IRAs offering sign up bonuses:
