How can you get your IRA out of your bank?

To transfer your IRA out of your bank, you can initiate a rollover or transfer to another financial institution. First, contact the new institution to ensure they can accept the transfer and obtain any necessary paperwork. Then, instruct your current bank to transfer the funds directly to the new IRA account, which helps avoid taxes and penalties. Ensure you follow the rules for rollovers, typically completing the process within 60 days if you choose to withdraw the funds before depositing them into the new account.
