AI-assisted research summary: Banks and trust companies acting as fiduciaries or custodians for fiduciaries may deposit certain securities with a Federal Reserve Bank, and related recordkeeping and certification duties apply.
Any bank or trust company, when acting as a fiduciary, or when holding securities as custodian for a fiduciary, is authorized to deposit, or arrange for the deposit of, with the federal reserve bank in its district, any securities, the principal of and interest on which the United States, or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof, has agreed to pay, has guaranteed to pay, or has guaranteed payment in the manner so as to be credited to one (1) or more accounts on the books of the federal reserve bank in the name of the bank or trust company, to be designated fiduciary or safekeeping accounts. The bank or trust company so depositing securities with the federal reserve bank shall be subject to the rules and regulations with respect to the making and maintenance of the deposits that, in the case of state chartered institutions, the commissioner, and, in the case of national banking associations, the comptroller of the currency, may from time to time issue. The records of the bank or trust company shall at all times show the ownership of the securities held in the account. Ownership of, and other interest in, the securities credited to the account may be transferred by entries on the books of the federal reserve bank without physical delivery of any securities. A bank or trust company acting as a custodian for a fiduciary shall, on demand by the fiduciary, certify in writing to the fiduciary the securities so deposited by the bank or trust company with the federal reserve bank for the account of the fiduciary. A fiduciary shall, on demand by any party to its accounting or on demand by the attorney for the party, certify in writing to the party the securities deposited by the fiduciary with the federal reserve bank for its account as the fiduciary. This section shall apply to all fiduciaries and custodians for fiduciaries, acting on May 3, 1973, or who thereafter may act, regardless of the date of the instrument or court order by which they are appointed.
