Ally Invest Annual IRA Fees and Account Inactivity Fees
There is no annual fee for maintaining an IRA. However, there is a possible inactivity charge if two things happen: no trades have been made in the account for an entire year and the combined household account value of all accounts that share the same tax ID is less than $2,500. The $2,500 threshold is evaluated at the time of review of the account, which is 12 months after the initial funding date of the account.
Ally Invest IRA Termination and Transfer Fees
A $50 fee is charged for terminating an IRA or making a full transfer of an IRA out of a Ally Invest account. In effect, $100 will be charged if an IRA is terminated because both fees apply—$50 for a full transfer and $50 for termination. If a full transfer is made out of the Ally Invest IRA but the account is not terminated (for example, if an investor intends to refund the IRA in the future), only $50 in fees will be charged. Partial account transfers have a $10 per position charge up to a maximum of $50.
All these fees except the account inactivity charge are typical with most discount brokers, so only active traders or those with larger accounts will want to open IRAs with Ally Invest.
