How do I add a beneficiary to my checking account?

To add a beneficiary, log in on a web browser, select Settings from the menu on the left, and click on the Accounts tab. Enter your primary beneficiary information for Checking. Checking does not currently support additional contingent beneficiaries.

Betterment only supports accounts for individuals 18 or older. If a minor should be appointed as a beneficiary of an account, we may require additional documentation. Choosing a minor as a beneficiary may cause unforeseen delays.
