"Bank A general account" does not describe the
PaymentMethod, it describes the credit card, the
company account, the gift card, etc so that field
should go on the CreditCard, etc entity.  Now if
you're using it as an alias for the Payment Method,
then you should create a PaymentMethodAttribute entity
and make a relationship between the two.


On a side note.  I've noticed a couple of fields
getting added onto entities in svn that are quick
fixes to gain functionality but cause a loss of the
entity's meaning.  PaymentMethod.partyId is one that
quickly comes to mind.
