Savings accounts are transferrable [transferable] only on the books of the association upon presentation of evidence of transfer satisfactory to the association, accompanied by application for transfer by which the transferee agrees to accept the account subject to the terms and conditions of the savings contract, the bylaws of the association and the provisions of its charter. The association may treat the holder of record of a savings account as the owner for all purposes without being affected by any notice to the contrary unless the association has acknowledged in writing that a pledge of the savings account has been made.
