§ 506. Joint accounts.
(a) General rule.--Whenever shares of a credit union shall be issued in the names of two or more persons, the credit union shall not pay any dividends or earnings thereon, or the repurchase value thereof, except upon proper receipt, acquittance or other action, as the case may be, of all of such persons, unless at the time of subscribing to the shares, or at a subsequent time, all the parties agree to a different arrangement, and give the credit union written notice thereof.
(b) Payments to less than all joint owners.--Whenever any share accounts of a credit union shall be issued in the names of two or more persons, and such share accounts shall have been subscribed for under an arrangement with the credit union whereby the dividends thereon, or the repurchase value thereof, may be paid upon receipt, acquittance or other action, as the case may be, of either or any of such persons, the credit union may pay such dividends or repurchase value upon such receipt, acquittance or other action, as the case may be, of either or any of such persons, pursuant to the arrangement provided for in this section, notwithstanding the fact that one or more of the other persons may be dead and the credit union has notice thereof.
(c) Revocation of agency.--The co-owner of a joint account may, with consent of the credit union, give said credit union written notice not to honor any or all requests for withdrawal of shares of any other co-owner of the joint account.
