7 “A bank is in breach of its duty of care under its contract with its customer if, on presentation of an unusually large cheque payable to cash, albeit one which would still leave a sizeable credit balance in the account, it does not make inquiries as to the genuineness of the cheque… A bank which is presented with a cheque which appears genuine on the face of it but is made out for a sum many times higher than the customer would normally write such cheques for, and where the customer on earlier occasions when large amounts were drawn had telephoned the bank to authorise it to pay to a named bearer, the bank's natural suspicions regarding the cheque should be aroused. It is settled case law that, although a cheque made out for a large amount is not in itself suspicious, the question whether a cheque is for an unusually large amount in the normal course of business transactions between the parties is relevant to the question whether the bank was negligent in paying out. The suspicion that there may be a wrongful application of the cheque outweighs the assumption that the customer has by exception written an unusually large cheque.” Reba urubanza Re (II ZR 185/85), (1987) E.C.C. 254 (1985). 8 “A bank which, as in this case, knows of circumstances from which it must be inferred that a cheque to cash for a large sum exceeds by an aunuasual amount the sums involved in in other cheque transactions usually affected by the customer must take account of the possibility that the cheque is being misused…If the bank were allowed to refrain from doing so there would an increase to a no longer justifiable extent in the risk borne by the customer in the context of the apportionment of risks… In the results there are no grounds in law for objecting the appeal court’s findings in the circumstances of the case that the defendant (the bank) was under a duty to telephone to the plaintif before paying out on the cheque in order to ascertain whether he had drawn it.” Reba urubanza Re (II ZR 185/85), (1987) E.C.C. 254 (1985).

Mugwaneza Carine Sandrine yari yarahaye banki itari iriho. Kuba banki yarabanje guhamagara nyiri konti kuri nimero ye yari yarahaye banki bigaragaza ko nayo yemera inshingano yayo yo gushaka amakuru (vigilance-information) mu gihe ibonye hari igikorwa kitamenyerewe kigiye gukorerwa kuri konti y’umukiliya. Kuba kandi umuyobozi wa banki yarategetse ko kwishyura bihagarara kugeza igihe nyiri konti yemereje ko ari we watanze ubutumwa, ni ikindi kimenyetso gihamya ko banki yemera inshingano zayo zo gushishoza mbere yo kwishyura. Iyi myitwarire ya banki inyomoza kandi ibyo iburanisha by’uko itari itegetswe guhamagara Mugwaneza Carine Sandrine mbere yo kwishyura, kuko iyo iba itabitegetswe itari kumuhamagara cyangwa se ngo nyuma yo kumumahagara ntimubone isabe ko kwishyura bitegereza akabanza kuboneka.

Kuba rero harahamagawe umuntu utazwi akemeza ko ayo madolari abikuzwa, bikwiye gufatwa nko kuba banki yaremeye ko ayo madolari abikuzwa nyirayo atabyemeje, nyamara banki yari imaze kwivugira ko atazabikuzwa uwatanze ordre de paiement ataraboneka kuri telefoni yahaye banki ngo abyemeze. [38] Urukiko rurasanga bank statement ya Mugwaneza Carine Sandrine kuri konti y’amadolari nº 00040-0294342-77 igaragaza ko kugeza ku wa 17/08/2015 ubwo ordre de paiement iburanwa yagezwaga muri BK Plc, amadolari menshi yari yarabikuje ari 1.629 USD yavanywe kuri konti ku wa 28/01/2015, avanyweho na Mugwaneza Carine Sandrine. Kuba rero kuri konti hari hagiye kuvanwaho 11.500 USD hashingiwe kuri ordre de paiement yahawe umuntu ku giti cye cyari igikorwa kitamenyerewe kuri iyo konti cyategeka banki gushishoza kurushaho mbere yo kwishyura.

14 “Where a person deposits money in a bank on general deposit, the relation of debtor of the bank to the depositor as creditor immediately arises, and in order to discharge itself from this liability the bank must pay the depositor. The liability can not be discharged by accepting a forged check drawn in the name of the depositor against the bank.” Reba urubanza Cairo Banking Co. v. West, 187 Ga. 666 (1939). 15 “Appellant argues, …that once a depositor's account is debited, the funds automatically belong to the depositor …. We disagree with this argument, as it requires this Court to ignore modern banking practice and the debtor/creditor relationship …At present, a bank generally would debit the depositor's account when it pays the person presenting the forged check. The bank then must correct the unauthorized withdrawal of funds by debiting its own funds and crediting the depositor's account to fully make it whole…” Reba urubanza Stokes v. Commonwealth, 49 Va. App. 401 (2007). 16 “Where a fraudulent transaction has occurred at a bank, that transaction does not affect the depositor, for the purposes of identifying the victim of a larceny based on the fraudulent transaction, because the bank did not possess the authority to disburse the funds from that depositor's account.” 17 “A bank, in paying a forged check, must be considered as making the payment out of its own funds, for the purposes of identifying the bank as the victim of the larceny that arises from the payment on the forged check.” 18 “Tout d’abord il est acquis que (le) banquier doit correctement passer les opérations souhaitées par son client. Ainsi, en cas de paiements ou de virements opérés par erreur au bénéfice d’un tiers, l’obligation de restitution implique que le banquier reste tenu de restituer la chose reçue à son véritable bénéficiaire. Il devra alors procéder au remboursement du client victime de l’erreur et, le plus souvent, prétendre à un remboursement par le tiers.” Reba Jérôme Lasserre Capdeville et les autres, Droit bancaire, Dalloz, Paris, 2021, p.388.
