client trust

Customer faith relationship

Client trust is confidence that a professional or business will act in the client's best interest.

In legal and financial contexts, it often refers specifically to a trust account—funds held on behalf of clients, kept separate from business operating funds: The attorney deposited the settlement into the client trust account.

Violating client trust, whether the relationship or the account, can end careers.
