Ally Bank IRA funding options.
In addition to standard contributions, you can move funds from existing retirement accounts to a Traditional or Roth IRA through a transfer, rollover, or conversion.
Transfers
A trustee-to-trustee transfer is a movement of funds from one IRA to another IRA of the same plan type. The money is transferred directly from one financial institution to another on your behalf. Transfers can take place as often as you like, and they are not taxable.
Rollovers
A rollover is a movement of funds from one retirement account or plan, such as an IRA, Roth IRA or 401K, to a new or established IRA account of the same plan type. Rollovers may be subject to federal income tax.
Conversions
A conversion involves tranfering funds from a Traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth account.
