533.309 Share accounts.
A state credit union may have share accounts including but not limited to the following types:
1. Ownership share account. The ownership share account shall consist of an account balance held by the state credit union in accordance with the state credit union’s bylaws. Each member may acquire only one ownership share. In the case of a joint account, the joint account owners may acquire only one ownership share unless each joint account owner applies for and is accepted as an individual member.
2. Joint accounts. A member may designate any person or persons to hold shares, deposits, and thrift club accounts with the member in joint tenancy with the right of survivorship, but such joint tenants shall not be permitted to cast more than one vote per ownership share jointly held in the state credit union. However, a joint tenant may have other rights of a jointly held ownership share, including the ability to obtain loans, or hold office or be required to pay an entrance fee. Payment of part or all of such joint accounts to any of the joint tenants shall, to the extent of such payment, discharge the liability to all.
3. Account for minors. Shares may be issued and deposits accepted in the name of a minor. Such shares and deposits may be withdrawn by the minor and payments made on such withdrawals shall be valid. A minor under sixteen years of age shall not be entitled to vote in the meetings of the members either personally or through the minor’s parent or guardian, and a minor shall not become a director until the minor reaches the minor’s eighteenth birthday.
4. Beneficiary account. If a member makes a deposit for the benefit of a person other than the depositor, the name and residence address of the beneficiary shall be disclosed and the account shall be kept in the name of the depositor, for the benefit of the beneficiary. The account balance may be withdrawn by the depositor or, upon the death of the depositor, by the beneficiary or the beneficiary’s legal representative.
