If it is your sole account you should always name a beneficiary. The bank will assist you if you visit any branch. If no beneficiary was named the funds in the account become part of the owner's estate upon death.

If the account is a joint account with the right of survivorship the full ownership will pass automatically to the surviving joint owner (who should then name a beneficiary through the bank).
