order and the receiving bank are governed by the law of the

(2) The rights and obligations between the beneficiary's bank
and the beneficiary are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in
which the beneficiary's bank is located.

transfer by the originator to the beneficiary is governed by the law
of the jurisdiction in which the beneficiary's bank is located.
(b) If the parties described in each paragraph of subsection
(a) have made an agreement selecting the law of a particular
jurisdiction to govern rights and obligations between each other,
the law of that jurisdiction governs those rights and obligations,
whether or not the payment order or the funds transfer bears a
reasonable relation to that jurisdiction.
(c) A funds-transfer system rule may select the law of a
particular jurisdiction to govern (i) rights and obligations between
participating banks with respect to payment orders transmitted or
processed through the system, or (ii) the rights and obligations of
some or all parties to a funds transfer any part of which is carried
out by means of the system. A choice of law made pursuant to clause
