Liability and duty of receiving bank regarding unaccepted payment order

Official statutory text

Sec. 212. 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 IC 26-1-4.1, 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 IC 26-1-4.1 or by express agreement. Liability based on acceptance arises only when acceptance occurs as stated in IC 26-1-4.1-209, and liability is limited to that provided in IC 26-1-4.1. 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 IC 26-1-4.1 or by express agreement.

As added by P.L.189-1991, SEC.4. Amended by P.L.1-1992, SEC.139.
