Yes. Deposit accounts (checking, savings, money market, and certificates) can be retitled to a revocable or irrevocable trust. Visit any Rivermark or Advantis branch with your Certification of Trust or full trust agreement, government-issued photo ID for all trustees, and the trust Tax Identification Number or grantor SSN. IRA accounts cannot be retitled to a trust; instead, name the trust as your IRA beneficiary.
Loyalty Savings is a high-yield savings account earning 4.00% APY on balances up to $25,000. To qualify each month, you must receive at least $1,000 in eligible deposits to a Rivermark checking account within the same membership and be enrolled in e-Statements. If the requirements are not met during a given month, the account earns the unqualified rate for that period. The account requires a $5 minimum deposit to open, has no monthly maintenance fee, and funds remain fully liquid. One Loyalty Savings account is allowed per membership.
Rivermark provides estate planning resources through its Financial Wellness program, including information about trusts, wills, and beneficiary designations. The credit union can assist with retitling deposit accounts to trusts, setting up POD beneficiary designations, and IRA beneficiary changes. For legal documents such as wills and trusts, consult a licensed attorney.
