-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(TEBO OPEN):
A RECENT STUDY BY THE EMPLOYEE BENEFIT RESEARCH INSTITUTE
FOUND THAT MORE THAN 58-PERCENT OF AMERICANS, AGE 55 AND OVER, HAVE
SAVED LESS THAN 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR RETIREMENT. TO HELP
CONSUMERS GET STARTED ON, OR SUPPLEMENT, THEIR RETIREMENT-SAVINGS PLAN,
CITIBANK ENCOURAGES ITS CUSTOMERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
NEW I-R-S SPLIT-TAX-REFUND OFFERING--AND DIRECT-DEPOSIT AT LEAST PART OF
THEIR FEDERAL-INCOME-TAX REFUND INTO AN "INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT".
JEFF PEARLBERG, OF CITIBANK, EXPLAINS…
(PEARLBERG):
"STARTING THIS TAX SEASON, THE I-R-S IS PROVIDING TAXPAYERS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPLIT THEIR TAX REFUND INTO MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS. AND,
WE'RE ENCOURAGING OUR CUSTOMERS TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT. WE HAVE ENHANCED OUR CAPABILITIES, SO
CUSTOMERS CAN NOW DIRECT-DEPOSIT PART OR ALL OF THEIR FEDERAL-TAX REFUND
INTO A CITIBANK I-R-A. THE SPEED AND CONVENIENCE OF THE
DIRECT-DEPOSIT SPLIT REFUND--PAIRED WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN I-R-A--ARE
THE PERFECT COMBINATION FOR PEOPLE TO BEGIN BUILDING THEIR RETIREMENT
SAVINGS RIGHT NOW."
