How your OCCU accounts transfer at death depends on how each one is set up. As a membership-based credit union, OCCU operates 16 full-service branches across Oregon, including locations in Eugene, Springfield, Bend, Redmond, Roseburg, and other communities. Headquartered at 2880 Chad Drive, Eugene, OR 97408. Members also have access to a nationwide network of shared branches and Co-op ATMs. With 9 account types, the transfer rules vary—getting the right designations in place now prevents delays and court involvement later.
Account holders can update their beneficiary designations at OCCU in branch, by mail, and by phone. Accounts can also be retitled into a trust to keep them out of probate entirely.
OCCU has documented procedures for both preparing accounts during your lifetime and handling claims when an account holder passes away.
