FAQ
A payable on death (POD) designation means your bank account automatically transfers to a beneficiary upon the death of all account owners and co-owners. Setting up a POD beneficiary allows you to plan for the future and make your financial wishes clear.

Bottom Line. Beneficiaries are named people who take ownership of a financial account after you die. If you die without naming a beneficiary, your bank account will transfer through your will and through probate law, as appropriate.
Do the paperwork: You'll likely need to fill out some beneficiary designation forms with your institution (bank, brokerage, insurer, etc.). This can usually be done online or over the phone, but some institutions may require mail-in forms or even an in-person visit at a local branch.
Sole-owner accounts Yes For individually owned accounts, the applicable transfer process (formal probate or small estate process) generally determines when an account will be closed. The person authorized to handle the estate will need to present the state-specific documents establishing their authority.
After someone dies, a sole-owned bank account may go to a named beneficiary or be handled by the executor of the estate. Joint accounts typically have automatic rights of survivorship, but it's still important to check with your bank to ensure smooth access to funds.
Most financial institutions will require you to contact your local branch or call customer service to add a beneficiary. However, some may also let you make changes to your account through online banking. Bank account beneficiaries may be added at any time.
The bank needs to be notified of the accountholder's passing as soon as possible, as any bank accounts of the deceased remain active until the bank is notified of the death. This typically entails providing the original Death Certificate for verification purposes and the Will, if one is available.
Log in to designate or update your beneficiaries For your accounts, sign in to Online Banking, select the account, and then in the 'Features' menu, select 'Manage' next to 'Beneficiaries. ' You can also visit a financial center if you need assistance.
