What happens to your Current accounts when you die

No beneficiary or trust option on any account, so they pass through the estate

Current does not currently support beneficiary designations, transfer-on-death registrations, or trust account titling on any account type. All Current accounts pass through the estate at death and may require probate.

When an account holder dies, the executor or administrator will need to contact Current with a death certificate and legal authority documents to claim account balances. The process and required documents are covered on the death claim page.

No beneficiary form at Current

Current does not currently support beneficiary designations (POD or TOD) on any account type. All accounts transfer through the estate at death and may require probate.

Why trust accounts are not available

Current does not support retitling accounts into a trust, naming a trust as beneficiary, or any other probate-avoidance mechanism. Account balances transfer through the estate at death.

What Current says about beneficiaries and trusts

Each section is Current's own statement, with the document it comes from numbered under Sources.

Which accounts take a beneficiary4

Payable-on-death account

No POD or TOD designation is available on any Current account type. The account cannot be owned or titled as Payable on Death (POD) or In Trust For (ITF).1, 2

Joint account with survivorship

Current does not offer joint accounts: "Unfortunately, we don't offer joint accounts at this time."3

Custodial account (UTMA/UGMA)

A Teen Account is not the teen's own account: the teen is an Authorized User on the parent's single-owner account, and that authority "may be automatically terminated by the death of any owner of the CRB Account."1

Crypto account

Cryptocurrency is held at Zero Hash LLC, not at Current or either partner bank, and carries no beneficiary designation.4

What Current's agreement says about beneficiaries1

Powers of attorney over a living owner's account

An owner may give another person authority to make transactions on the account by power of attorney, using a power of attorney form. Current may refuse a power of attorney for reasonable cause and may require the agent to sign an affidavit that the principal is alive and competent.1

A power of attorney stays in force until Current receives written revocation from the principal, or written notice of the principal's death or of the agent's death or incapacity.1

What Current says about trust accounts2

Whether a new account is opened

There is no trust titling and no "In Trust For" registration. The account may be owned and titled only in the name of one person and cannot be titled by an organization.1, 2

Opening runs only through the app and only in a natural person's own name: "You may open a CRB Account by using the Current mobile banking application."1

The trust's tax identification number

Current requires a U.S. Social Security number to open an account, so there is no application path for a trust.3
