Provision
§ 10:4A-212RS 10:4A-212Provision

A receiving bank must accept a payment order only when it is bound to do so by express agreement; otherwise it has no duty to accept it or act on it before acceptance.

§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 Chapter, 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 Chapter or by express agreement. Liability based on acceptance arises only when acceptance occurs as stated in R.S. 10:4A-209, and liability is limited to that provided in this Chapter. 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 Chapter or by express agreement. Added by Acts 1990, No. 1079, §4, eff. Sept. 1, 1990.
