Chapter 24. Administration of Deposits

Section 40. Depositary or Custodian.

AS 21.24.040. Depositary or Custodian.

(a) Deposits made in this state under this title shall be made through the office of the director in safe deposit or under custodial arrangements as required or approved by the director consistent with the purposes of the deposit, with an established safe deposit institution, bank, or trust company located in this state selected by the insurer with the director's approval.

(b) A safe deposit may not be used for a deposit unless the box or compartment in which are kept the assets and securities comprising the deposit requires two separate and distinctly differing keys or one key and a combination, in the case of a box having a combination lock, to open it. One of the keys or the combination shall be kept by the director, and the other key or the combination shall be kept by the insurer. The box or compartment may not be opened or remain open except through the joint action and in the presence of both the director and an authorized officer or representative of the insurer.

(c) If of convenience to the insurer in the buying, selling, and exchange of securities comprising its deposit, and in the collection of interest and other income currently accruing thereon, the insurer may, with the director's advance written approval, deposit a portion of the securities under custodial arrangements with an established bank or trust company located outside this state, if receipts representing all the securities are issued by the custodial bank or trust company and are held in safe deposit or custody subject to the requirements of (a) and (b) of this section.

(d) The form and terms of all depositary or custodial agreements shall be as prescribed or approved by the director consistent with the applicable provisions of this title.

(e) The compensation and expenses of the depositary or custodian shall be borne by the insurer.
