No.

From 3rd Grade: What is the Emotional Bank Account? Explain why this relates to healthy relationships...
The Emotional Bank Account is a simple way of explaining trust in relationships. It's like an invisible bank account you have with every person. The way you treat them either add to it or takes away from it. A deposit adds trust, like being honest, loyal, or kind. A withdrawal takes away from the trust, like lying to them, telling their secrets to others, or being unkind.
