# 11 U.S.C. § 745 - Treatment of accounts
## Text
(a) Accounts held by the debtor for a particular customer in separate capacities shall be treated as accounts of separate customers.
(b) If a stockbroker or a bank holds a customer net equity claim against the debtor that arose out of a transaction for a customer of such stockbroker or bank, each such customer of such stockbroker or bank shall be treated as a separate customer of the debtor.
(c) Each trustees account specified as such on the debtors books, and supported by a trust deed filed with, and qualified as such by, the Internal Revenue Service, and under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, shall be treated as a separate customer account for each beneficiary under such trustee account.
(Pub. L. 95598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2613; Pub. L. 97222, § 11, July 27, 1982, 96 Stat. 238; Pub. L. 98353, title III, § 483, July 10, 1984, 98 Stat. 383; Pub. L. 103394, title V, § 501(d)(28), Oct. 22, 1994, 108 Stat. 4146.)
## Notes
Historical and Revision Notes
senate report no. 95989Section 745(a) indicates that each account held by a customer in a separate capacity is to be considered a separate account. This prevents the offset of accounts held in different capacities. Subsection (b) indicates that a bank or another stockbroker that is a customer of a debtor is considered to hold its customers accounts in separate capacities. Thus a bank or other stockbroker is not treated as a mutual fund for purposes of bulk investment. This protects unrelated customers of a bank or other stockholder from having their accounts offset. Subsection (c) effects the same result with respect to a trust so that each beneficiary is treated as the customer of the debtor rather than the trust itself. This eliminates any doubt whether a trustee holds a personal account in a separate capacity from his trustees account.
