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.

Create Bank Account Relationships

In the Create Bank Account Relationship panel, you can associate a custodian bank or clearing broker with an entity. You can use bank account relationship data to match and reconcile holdings and/or for cash segregation.

If you are creating the bank account relationship for use with cash segregation, you can additionally use bank account relationships to associate a custodian bank or clearing broker with a group of entities in a composite.

To create a bank account relationship:

  1. Do one of the following: 
    - In Accounting Center, in the left navigation pane, click Setup > Portfolio Setup > Custody Cash Accounts > Create Bank Account Relationship.
    - In Portfolio Data Center, in the left navigation pane, click Portfolio Desk > Accounting Portfolio Setup > Custody Cash Accounts > Create Bank Account Relationship.
    You see the Create Bank Account Relationship panel.
  2. Complete the options on the Create Bank Account Relationship panel.
    If you want to add additional bank account relationships for the entity, use the pane that appears on the bottom of the Create Bank Account Relationship panel, as follows:
    –  Click the lower pane.
    –  Right-click and select Add Rows.
    –  Enter the number of rows you want to add in the Enter Rows Count dialog box and click OK. You need to add a row for each additional custodian bank you want to associate with the entity.
    –  Complete the fields on each row you added.
  3. Click Submit.
