Yes. A Bank account is the personal property of the person who owns and operates the bank account. It will be considered an asset for the account owner. Anything that has a monetary value and belongs to someone is called an asset. Since a bank account is worth as much money that is in the account and belongs to a customer, it is the personal property of that person.
