What is a holder?

What is a holder?

• A. The owner of the account
• B. The person who logs transactions
• C. The recipient of funds
• D. An instrument holder's custodian

Answer: (A)

The holder is the person whose name appears on the account and who has the right to access and control the funds. In banking terms, the account holder is the owner of the account and bears the primary responsibility for transactions and account management. The other roles describe different functions: the person who logs transactions is a teller or processor, not the owner; the recipient of funds is simply the payoff or beneficiary, not necessarily the account owner; and a custodian holds an instrument for safekeeping, not the rights of ownership of the account.
