    Beneficiary Informtion

    The owners of many accounts name payable-on-death (POD) beneficiaries for the accounts. That means that when the account owner (or the last surviving owner, in the case of a joint account) dies, the POD beneficiary can simply claim the money from the Credit Union. The deceased person's will does not come into play, and there's no need for any probate court involvement, either.

    POD designations are widely used because they're simple both for the person who sets them up and the beneficiaries who inherit. Please indicate below if you would like to include a beneficiary at this time.
