The insert trigger is:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER NewCustomers

	AFTER INSERT ON table
	REFERENCING NEW AS newRow
	FOR EACH ROW
		WHEN (newRow.account_type = 1)
BEGIN
		INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS VALUES('NEW', :newRow.account_no, NULL);
	END NewCustomers;

and the modify trigger is:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ModifyCustomers

	AFTER UPDATE ON table
	REFERENCING OLD AS oldRow
	FOR EACH ROW 
		WHEN (oldRow.account_type = 1 AND UPPER(oldRow.chg_who) NOT LIKE '%BIP%')
BEGIN
		INSERT INTO CUSTOMERS VALUES('CHG', :oldRow.account_no, NULL);
	END ModifyCustomers;
