(1) Each banking institution and each non-Oregon institution authorized to transact a trust business in this state shall establish and maintain in its office a trust department, in which separate books and accounts shall be maintained. All property of the trust department shall be segregated from and unmingled with other property.
(2) The books and accounts of the trust department shall show the ownership of all moneys, funds, investments and property held by the trust department. Securities may be kept by the trust department in either of the following ways:
(a) All certificates representing the securities of an account may be held separate from those of all other accounts; or
(b) Certificates representing securities of the same class of the same issuer held for particular accounts may be held in bulk without certification as to ownership attached and, to the extent feasible, certificates of small denomination may be merged into one or more certificates of larger denomination. Upon demand by any person to whom it has a duty to account, a trust department shall certify in writing the securities held by it for an account. A trust department, if operating under the method of safekeeping security certificates described in this paragraph, is subject to such rules as may be issued by:
(A) In the case of a banking institution, the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services;
(B) In the case of an out-of-state bank, the appropriate state supervisor;
(C) In the case of an extranational institution, the official charged with supervising the extranational institution in the country under the laws of which it was organized; or
(D) In the case of a national bank, the Comptroller of the Currency.
(3) All records shall be kept and retained for such time as to enable the banking institution or non-Oregon institution to furnish information or reports with respect to the records that may be required by the director or other regulator specified in subsection (2)(b) of this section. The records shall contain full information relative to each account and nothing contained in this subsection shall require a banking institution or non-Oregon institution to maintain the records required by this section in any given manner, provided that the information required is clearly and accurately reflected and provides an adequate basis for the audit of the information.
(4) A banking institution transacting trust business in this state shall retain the records required by this section for a period of three years from the termination of the relationship to which the records relate. A non-Oregon institution or federal bank transacting trust business in this state shall retain such records pertaining to the trust business transacted by it for such periods of time as may be required by applicable laws of the jurisdiction under which the non-Oregon institution or federal bank is organized, or if the applicable laws of the jurisdiction do not specify a period for retaining the records, the non-Oregon institution or federal bank shall retain the records required by this section for a period of three years. The records shall be available for examination by the director or, in the case of:
(a) Federal banks, the Comptroller of the Currency or other federal supervisor;
(b) Out-of-state banks and out-of-state trust companies, the appropriate state supervisor; or
(c) Extranational institutions, the official charged with supervising the extranational institution in the country under the laws of which it was organized.
