What is a beneficiary?

A beneficiary is the person, trust or company you designate to receive the funds in your account in the event of your death. This is usually a family member like a spouse, son or daughter, or someone close to you. It can be charity or trust setup for your children.

We must designate a beneficiary for you during account opening. The beneficiary can be changed later, after logging in from: Settings -> Accounts -> Beneficiary

The following information is required to designate a beneficiary:

  • Full Name
  • Address

Beneficiaries do not need to be a resident of the USA.
