| | Money Market Deposit Accounts and Now Accounts |
 | | Such investments shall be made through an account or accounts used for the deposit of customer funds and proceeds from any sale of such obligations shall be redeposited in such account or accounts. |
 | | Indeed, if we were to permit the deposit of customer funds in an MMDA or a NOW account but not in a money market mutual fund, we would be creating differences between the uses of such accounts not contemplated by the actions taken to permit banks to compete more favorably with money market mutual funds. |
 | | Accordingly, deposits in which any beneficial interest is held by a corporation, partnership, association, or other organization that is operated for profit or that is not operated primarily for religious, philanthropic, charitable, educational, fraternal or other similar purposes, or that is not a governmental unit, may not be classified as NOW accounts. |
