Official statutory text
AUTHORIZED AND VERIFIED PAYMENT ORDERS
(a) A payment order received by the receiving bank is the
authorized order of the person identified as sender if that person
authorized the order or is otherwise bound by it under the law of
agency.
(b) If a bank and its customer have agreed that the
authenticity of payment orders issued to the bank in the name of the
customer as sender will be verified pursuant to a security
procedure, a payment order received by the receiving bank is
effective as the order of the customer, whether or not authorized,
if (i) the security procedure is a commercially reasonable method of
providing security against unauthorized payment orders, and (ii) the
bank proves that it accepted the payment order in good faith and in
compliance with the bank's obligations under the security procedure
and any agreement or instruction of the customer, evidenced by a
record, restricting acceptance of payment orders issued in the name
of the customer. The bank is not required to follow an instruction
that violates an agreement with the customer, evidenced by a record,
or notice of which is not received at a time and in a manner
affording the bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it before the
payment order is accepted.
(c) Commercial reasonableness of a security procedure is a
question of law to be determined by considering the wishes of the
customer expressed to the bank, the circumstances of the customer
known to the bank, including the size, type, and frequency of
payment orders normally issued by the customer to the bank,
alternative security procedures offered to the customer, and
security procedures in general use by customers and receiving banks
similarly situated. A security procedure is deemed to be
commercially reasonable if (i) the security procedure was chosen by
the customer after the bank offered, and the customer refused, a
security procedure that was commercially reasonable for that
customer, and (ii) the customer expressly agreed in a record to be
bound by any payment order, whether or not authorized, issued in its
name and accepted by the bank in compliance with the bank's
obligations under the security procedure chosen by the customer.
(d) The term "sender" in this article includes the customer in
whose name a payment order is issued if the order is the authorized
order of the customer under subsection (a), or it is effective as
the order of the customer under subsection (b).
(e) This section applies to amendments and cancellations of
payment orders to the same extent it applies to payment orders.
