Frequently Asked Questions

What are your current IRA rates?

How much can I contribute to my SEP IRA?

Contribute up to $70,000/year or 25% of your compensation, whichever is less.

Can I transfer a SEP IRA to GenFi Ministries?

Can I roll over a 401(k) to a SEP IRA?

Yes, you can roll over your 401(k) from a previous employer into an IRA at GenFi Ministries. To get started, contact your plan administrator to confirm their rollover requirements. Our Investment team is happy to help you set up your IRA — just reach out!

How does GenFi Ministries use my money?

All investment dollars go to support the expansion of Assemblies of God churches and ministries through our loan program. Cash reserves are in bank, money market, and very conservative mutual fund accounts. The variety allows for balance when one part of the economy softens (the other part usually does the opposite). See the impact investments with GenFi Ministries have for ministries nationwide.

Can I take distributions from my SEP IRA?

Yes, you can take penalty-free distributions from your SEP IRA once you turn age 59 ½. Early redemptions (before age 59 ½) may result in a 10% penalty and ordinary income tax liability.

Can my SEP IRA be set up in a trust?

Yes. You will need to provide a copy of your trust agreement or complete a Certification of Trust Agreement form. GenFi Ministries requires that we have one of these items before we can set up your investment note in the name of a trust. 

What is the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)?

A RMD is an amount of money the IRS requires you to take from a Traditional IRA account once you reach age 73. The dollar amount is determined by a calculation of your age and the end balance of the previous year.
