board of directors, for the payment of interest on such deposit and shall repay the deposit in
accordance with the terms and conditions of its acceptance.
2. The terms and conditions attending an agreement to pay interest on deposits shall be
furnished to each customer at the time of the acceptance by the state bank of the initial
deposit. No change made in the terms and conditions attending an agreement to pay interest
which adversely affects the interest of a depositor shall be retroactively effective. Savings
account depositors and holders and payees of automatic renewal time certificates of deposit
shall be given reasonable notice of any change in the terms and conditions attending an
agreement to pay interest prior to the effective date thereof.
3. A state bank may make such charges for the handling or custody of deposits as may be
fixed by its board of directors provided that a schedule of the charges shall be furnished to
the customer at the time of acceptance by the state bank of the initial deposit. Any change in
the charges shall be furnished to the customer within a reasonable period of time before the
effective date of the change.
4. A state bank shall not accept deposits or renew certificates of deposit when insolvent.
5. Except as provided in section 524.807, a state bank may receive deposits by or in the
name of a minor and may deal with a minor with respect to a deposit account without the
consent of a parent, guardian or conservator and with the same effect as though the minor
were an adult. Any action of the minor with respect to such deposit account shall be binding
on the minor with the same effect as though an adult.
6. A state bank may receive deposits from a person acting as fiduciary or in an official
capacity which shall be payable to such person in such capacity.
7. A state bank may receive deposits from a corporation, trust, estate, association or other
similar organization which shall be payable to any person authorized by its board of directors
or other persons exercising similar functions.
8. A state bank may receive deposits from one or more persons with the provision that
upon the death of the depositors the deposit account shall be the property of the person or
persons designated by the deceased depositors as shown on the deposit account records of

the state bank. After payment by the state bank, the proceeds shall remain subject to any
debts of the decedent and any payment of Iowa inheritance tax for a death occurring prior to
January 1, 2025. A state bank paying the person or persons designated shall not be liable as a
result of that action for any debts of the decedent or for any estate, inheritance, or succession
taxes which may be due this state.
