Adding and Removing a Joint Account Holder

Add or remove a beneficiary

To add or remove a beneficiary, we will need a new signature card, which all account owners must sign. Please call us at (530) 222.6060 or stop by your nearest M1 branch, as you can not add or remove a beneficiary online. 

To remove a Joint Account Holder

To remove a Joint Account Holder, there are two options:

1: Close the existing account

  1. Apply for a new account online or at a branch with only your name listed on it.
  2. Once your new account is open, call us at (530) 222.6060.
  3. Request to close the existing account where the joint owner is listed.
  4. Provide details of your new account for the funds to be transferred.
  5. Verify your identity and ownership of both accounts during the call.
  6. Confirm the closure of the old account and the transfer of funds to the new account.

2: Keep the existing account

  1. Please call us at (530) 222.6060 or stop by your nearest M1 branch.
