§ 45-3-502. Authorization of deposit accounts.

Acceptance of Deposit Accounts. An association may accept deposit accounts of any type and in any form not prohibited by this chapter or by other applicable law or by rules and regulations of the commissioner. An association shall not accept accounts other than deposit accounts; provided, that in the event of a conversion of a federal association to a state association, savings accounts in the federal association, existing at the time it so converts shall remain savings accounts unless and until they are exchanged for deposit accounts. Exchanges of savings accounts shall be governed by rules and regulations promulgated by the commissioner. Priority of Deposit Accounts. In any situation in which the priority of deposit accounts is to be determined or is in controversy, deposit accounts shall be debts of the association having the same priority as the claims of general creditors of the association not having priority, other than any priority arising or resulting from consensual, or, if so determined by a court, equitable, subordination, over other general creditors of the association.
