WyHy FCU offers 18 accounts, each with its own rules for what happens when a member dies. As a membership-based credit union, WyHy FCU membership open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Wyoming, as well as family members of existing WyHy members, volunteers in Wyoming communities, and businesses or legal entities located in Wyoming. Five branch locations: Cheyenne (headquarters at 1715 Stillwater Avenue), Casper, Rock Springs, Green River, and Lyman. Recent merger history includes Wyoming Feds (1986), Green River Basin (2021), WyoChem (2022), and Sweetwater (2023). Routing number: 307086691. Some transfer automatically to a named beneficiary, others can be held in a trust, and a few may require probate if no plan is in place.
Managing beneficiaries at WyHy FCU is straightforward—changes can be made in branch and by mail, typically taking 15-30 minutes. Trust funding is also available, allowing families to retitle accounts into the name of a revocable living trust.
WyHy FCU provides specific procedures for both proactive estate planning and filing claims after a death.
