The $8 million credit union will open the savings accounts, and matching funds will come from private grants given to the Iowa CU Foundation.

IDAs are matched savings accounts in which a grant from an organization matches a participant's savings. Savings and matching funds can be used to purchase a specific asset, such as a home; start or expand a small business; pay for education; or buy a vehicle to get to work.
