Yes, in most cases, you can designate payable-on-death (POD) beneficiaries for your online savings accounts.

You may further increase the degree of FDIC insurance by adding additional beneficiaries (and in some cases, also help keep funds out of probate by adding POD designations) directly at each bank.

Here are the specifics bank-by-bank:

Max Checking (powered by Customers Bank: Allows you to add an individual or trust as a beneficiary. To do so, call Customers Bank's Digital Banking Team at 1-833-534-1028.

UFB Direct: You can add one or more beneficiaries via UFB Direct online banking. To do so, click the "Accounts" button in the top banner, select the account you want to update, click the "Account Details" tab, and then click the "Add a Beneficiary" link on the right-hand side.

Veritex Bank: Allows you to add an individual as a beneficiary. To do so, call Veritex Online and Mobile Banking Support at 1-800-230-9421.

Ally Bank: Click the 3 horizontal bar menu icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen, then click on Account Services, then Beneficiaries, then Add a new beneficiary. The form appears to be for an individual, but if you prefer to use a trust as beneficiary you can abbreviate the name of the trust on the First Name and Last Name lines and list the date the trust was formed where they ask for Date of Birth.

We suggest that you consult your attorney or qualified estate planning professional before establishing a trust account or designating an account as a POD account. Please contact Max Member Services if you have further questions regarding support for trust accounts.
