The goal with your SCCU accounts is to make sure every account has a transfer mechanism in place—either a POD beneficiary designation or trust ownership. Because SCCU 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.
Across 15 product types, SCCU accounts vary in how they transfer at death. The sections below walk through Payable on Death (POD) designations, trust funding options, and which products support each method.
