Customers and Accounts are not cyclic.

A customer has an account. The customer is the domain root. Hence there would be no accounts if there were no customers.

A customer does need to to hve an account. An account must have a customer.

It's not cyclic in any way

Banks think the other way around - the account is important, the customer less so. Multiple entities, or no entities, might be authorized to access or control the account at various times.
