The goal with your Hawaii State FCU accounts is to make sure every account has a transfer mechanism in place—either a POD beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Because Hawaii State FCU is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Accounts without either one will require probate, which means court involvement and delays for your family.

With 12 product types, Hawaii State FCU offers a range of transfer options. Some accounts support Payable on Death (POD) designations, others can be retitled into a trust, and some require probate if no beneficiary is designated. The sections below break down each step.
