§5-16-26. Liens on accounts; pledges of accounts as security for loans.

To secure loans to members, an association shall have a lien without further agreement or pledge upon all accounts owned by the borrower. Upon default upon any loan, the association may, without any notice to or consent of the borrower, cancel on its books all or any accounts owned by the borrower and apply the value of such accounts in payment on account of the loan. An association may waive its lien in whole or in part by a writing. Any association may take the pledge of an account or accounts of the association owned by a member other than the borrower as additional security for any loan secured by an account or by an account and real estate, or as additional security for any real estate loan.
