(A) A state savings bank may receive deposits of funds upon terms as the contract of deposit provides subject to withdrawals or to be paid upon checks of the depositor. Deposit accounts may be opened or deposits made and held by, in trust or other fiduciary capacity for, a person, political subdivision, public unit, or governmental unit. Savings accounts are transferrable only on the books of the state savings bank after proper written application by the transferee and acceptance by the state savings bank of the transferee as an account holder. The state savings bank may treat the holder of record of a savings account as its owner for all purposes without being affected by a notice to the contrary unless the state savings bank has acknowledged in writing notice of a pledge of the savings account. (B) Each account holder shall execute a deposit account contract setting forth special terms and provisions. However, the ownership of the account and the conditions upon which withdrawals may be made may not be inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter. (C) An account book, separate certificate, written statement, card, device or other evidence or means of access of identity, evidencing the ownership of the account must be issued to each savings account holder of record as shown by the books of the state savings bank. (D) Upon the filing with a state savings bank by the holder of record as shown by the books of the state savings bank, or by his legal representative, of an affidavit to the effect that the evidence of ownership of a savings account with the state savings bank has been lost or destroyed and that the evidence of ownership has not been pledged or assigned in whole or in part, the state savings bank must issue new evidence of ownership in the name of the holder of record. The new evidence must state that it is issued instead of the one lost or destroyed, but the board of directors may require a bond in an amount it considers sufficient to indemnify the state savings bank against loss which might result from the issuance of new evidence of ownership.
