system. (a) If a payment order addressed to a receiving bank is transmitted to a funds-transfer
system or other third-party communication system for transmittal to the bank, the system is
deemed to be an agent of the sender for the purpose of transmitting the payment order to the
bank. If there is a discrepancy between the terms of the payment order transmitted to the
system and the terms of the payment order transmitted by the system to the bank, the terms
of the payment order of the sender are those transmitted by the system. This section does
not apply to a funds-transfer system of the Federal Reserve Banks. (b) This section applies
to cancellations and amendments of payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment
orders. (Acts 1992, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 92-701, p. 145, §1.)...

7-4A-212
Section 7-4A-212 Liability and duty of receiving bank regarding unaccepted payment order. If
a receiving bank fails to accept a payment order that it is obliged by express agreement to
accept, the bank is liable for breach of the agreement to the extent provided in the agreement
or in this article, but does not otherwise have any duty to accept a payment order, or before
acceptance, to take any action, or refrain from taking action, with respect to the order except
as provided in this article or by express agreement. Liability based on acceptance arises
only when acceptance occurs as stated in Section 7-4A-209, and liability is limited to that
provided in this article. A receiving bank is not the agent of the sender or beneficiary of
the payment order it accepts, or of any other party to the funds transfer, and the bank owes
no duty to any party to the funds transfer except as provided in this article or by express
agreement. (Acts 1992, 2nd Ex. Sess., No. 92-701, p. 145, §1.)...

applies to a payment order identifying an intermediary bank or the beneficiary's bank only

a bank. (2) The sender is obliged to compensate the receiving bank for any loss and expenses
incurred by the receiving bank as a result of its reliance on the number in executing or attempting
to execute the order. (b) This subsection applies to a payment order identifying an intermediary
bank or the beneficiary's bank both by name and an identifying number if the name and number
identify different persons. (1) If the sender is a bank, the receiving bank may rely on the
number as the proper identification of the intermediary or beneficiary's bank if the receiving
bank, when it executes the sender's order, does...

Section 7-4A-204 Refund of payment and duty of customer to report with respect to unauthorized
payment order. (a) If a receiving bank accepts a payment order issued in the name of its customer
as sender which is (i) not authorized and not effective as the order of the customer under
Section 7-4A-202, or (ii) not enforceable, in whole or in part, against the customer under
Section 7-4A-203, the bank shall refund any payment of the payment order received from the
customer to the extent the bank is not entitled to enforce payment and shall pay interest
on the refundable amount calculated from the date the bank received payment to the date of
the refund. However, the customer is not entitled to interest from the bank on the amount
to be refunded if the customer fails to exercise ordinary care to determine that the order

time not exceeding 90 days after the date the customer received...

Subject to Sections 7-4A-211(e), 7-4A-405(d), and 7-4A-405(e), if a beneficiary's bank accepts
a payment order, the bank is obliged to pay the amount of the order to the beneficiary of
the order. Payment is due on the payment date of the order, but if acceptance occurs on the
payment date after the close of the funds-transfer business day of the bank, payment is due
on the next funds-transfer business day. If the bank refuses to pay after demand by the beneficiary
and receipt of notice of particular circumstances that will give rise to consequential damages
as a result of nonpayment, the beneficiary may recover damages resulting from the refusal
to pay to the extent the bank had notice of the damages, unless the bank proves that it did
not pay because of a reasonable doubt concerning the right of the beneficiary to payment.
(b) If a payment order accepted by the beneficiary's bank instructs...
