As a lending lawyer for more than a quarter century at this point, I have seen that deposit accounts and deposit account control agreements are a routine component of virtually every transaction. Deposit accounts are a source of high quality, easily realizable collateral for lenders in any secured loan transaction. However, following the regional bank crisis early last year, my perspective of deposits shifted. They were no longer simply another asset class of collateral for my bank clients. Instead, unfortunately, I saw first-hand how deposits are inseparably linked to the ability of our clients to not only make the loans we help them provide, but also to thrive as financial institutions.
