ank Bank account relationships allow you to associate multiple custody locations with a single entity. A custody location is the custody bank/custody bank account number grouping. A bank account relationship allows you to either define the relationship between an entity or composite and a custody bank, or to define the relationship between entities and a clearing broker.

Eagle Accounting uses bank account relationships with several types of activity. If you use cash segregation, you must set up bank account relationships whether or not you plan to send transactions that contain a custody location and cash account number.

If you use derivative segregation with or without cash segregation, you set up bank account relationships that define an entity to clearing broker relationship. You can also define bank account relationships for use in reconciliation, and for use with Eagle's insurance accounting solution.

In prior releases, a bank account relationship was known as an entity bank relationship.
